Abstract
TbPO4, DyPO4, and HoPO4 crystallize in space group [41/amd (No. 141), zircon structure, Z=4. The crystal structures have been determined from automated three-dimensional single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Least-squares full matrix refinements yielded final weighted R-values equal to 00.035, 0.037, and 0.036, respectively. The lanthanide metal atom in each compound is eight-coordinated to oxygen atoms forming two orthogonal interpenetrating tetrahedra. Each tetrahedron has distinct bond distances. The resultant polyhedron is best described as distorted dodecahedron (D2d). Important crystal data, parameters, bond lengths, and angles are tabularized.
