Two new barium zinc selenite and tellurite, namely, BaZn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2} and BaZn(TeO{sub 3})Cl{sub 2}, have been synthesized by the solid state reaction. The structure of BaZn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2} features double chains of [Zn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sup 2-} anions composed of four- and eight-member rings which are alternatively along a-axis. The double chains of [Zn{sub 2}(TeO{sub 3}){sub 2}Cl{sub 3}]{sup 3-} anions in BaZn(TeO{sub 3})Cl{sub 2} are formed by Zn{sub 3}Te{sub 3} rings in which each tellurite group connects with three ZnO{sub 3}Cl tetrahedra. BaZn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2} and BaZn(TeO{sub 3})Cl{sub 2} are wide bandgap semiconductors based on optical diffuse reflectance spectrum measurements. -- Graphical abstract: Two new barium zinc selenite and tellurite, namely, BaZn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2} and BaZn(TeO{sub 3})Cl{sub 2}, have been synthesized by solid state reaction. The structure of BaZn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2} features 1D double chains of [Zn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2}]{sup 2-} anions composed of four- and eight-member rings which are alternatively along a-axis. The 1D double chains of [Zn{sub 2}(TeO{sub 3}){sub 2}Cl{sub 3}]{sup 3-} anions in BaZn(TeO{sub 3})Cl{sub 2} are formed by Zn{sub 3}Te{sub 3} rings in which each tellurite group connects with one ZnO{sub 3}Cl and two ZnO{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} tetrahedra. BaZn(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2} and BaZn(TeO{sub 3})Cl{sub 2} are wide bandgap semiconductors based on optical diffuse reflectance spectrum measurements.
