Crystals of CsGd(PO3)4 have been grown by the flux technique from a mixture of CsH2PO4, Gd2O3 and H3PO4. CsGd(PO3)4 crystallizes in structure type IV of the MIMIII(PO3)4 (MI = alkali metal, MIII = rare earth or Bi) family of compounds. The structure consists of a three-dimensional framework made up of spiral (PO3)n chains linked by GdO8 polyhedra. Two infinite (PO3)n chains with a period of eight tetra­hedra run along the [101] direction. Gd and Cs cations are surrounded by eight and eleven O atoms, respectively.

Special details top

Experimental. Data were corrected for Lorentz-polarization effects and an analytical absorption correction (Meulenaer & Tompa, 1965) was applied. The structure was solved in the P 1 21/n 1 space group by the Patterson method (Cs and Gd) and subsequent difference Fourier syntheses (all other atoms).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
