X-ray investigation of solid state interaction of the components in the Li{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–Rb{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–Fe{sub 2}(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3} system was carried out, and a subsolidus phase diagram of the said system was constructed. The subsystem Rb{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–LiRbMoO{sub 4}–RbFe(MoO{sub 4}){sub 2} was shown to be non-quasiternary. Formation of a novel triple molybdate LiRb{sub 2}Fe(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3} was established, conditions of solid state synthesis and crystallization of the compound were found. Its crystal structure (orthorhombic, space group Pnma, Z=4, a=24.3956(6), b=5.8306(1), c=8.4368(2) Å) represents a new structure type and includes infinite two-row ribbons ([Fe(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3}]{sup 3−}){sub ∞} parallel to the b axis and composed of FeO{sub 6} octahedra, terminal Mo(3)O{sub 4} tetrahedra, and bridge Mo(1)O{sub 4} and Mo(2)O{sub 4} tetrahedra connecting two or three FeO{sub 6} octahedra. The ribbons are connected to form 3D framework via corner-sharing LiO{sub 4} tetrahedra. Rubidium cations are 11- and 13-coordinated and located in cavities of this heterogeneous polyhedral framework. - Graphical abstract: Exploring the Li{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–Rb{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–Fe{sub 2}(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3} system showed its partial non-quasiternarity and revealed a new compound LiRb{sub 2}Fe(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3} which was structurally studied. - Highlights: • The Li{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–Rb{sub 2}MoO{sub 4}–Fe{sub 2}(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3} system study revealed a new compound LiRb{sub 2}Fe(MoO{sub 4}){sub 3}. • Its structure of a new type includes ribbons of FeO{sub 6} octahedra and MoO{sub 4} tetrahedra. • The ribbons are connected into a 3D framework via corner-sharing LiO{sub 4} tetrahedra.
