Rb2Lu[Si4O10]F, a tubular chain silicate

Single crystals of Rb2Lu[Si4O10]F (dirubidium lutetium tetrasilicate fluoride) were obtained in flux-synthesis experiments in the system SiO2–Lu2O3–RbF. The compound belongs to the group of tubular chain silicates, i.e. it is based on multiple chains of condensed [SiO4] tetrahedra forming closed col...
