The phosphates, arsenates, and vanadates of the rare earths (in German)

Journal Article · · Zeitschrift fuer Anorganische und Allgemeine Chemie
The phosphates, arsenates, and vanadates of the rare earth metals occur in two structure types. Most of them crystallize in the zircon structure; some of them, salts of the rare earths having larger ions, crystallize in the huttonite and monazite type, respectively. Both types were found in the case of TbPO4. The dimensions of the unit cells of the zircon-type compounds are given. There is no discontinuity of the alteration of the cell dimensions and lattice constants of the arsenates and vanadates with increasing atomic number at the gadolinium salts. ScPO4, ScAsO4, and ScVO4 have zircon structure; BiPO4 exists in a low-temperature modification of hutionite type and still another, hitherto unknown form; BiAsO4 has huttonite structure.
