K/sup 2/Nb/sub 2/As/sub 2/O/sub 11/ crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/a, with a = 10.342(6), b = 10.446(5), c = 9.971(4) A, ..beta.. = 96.72(4)/sup 0/, M = 589.86, V = 1069.8(5) A/sup 3/, Z = 4, rho = 3.67 g cm/sup -1/. The crystal structure was refined (105 variables) from 1782 independent reflections collected on a Philips PW 1100 automatic diffractometer with AgK anti ..cap alpha.. radiation. The final R index and weighted R/sub w/ index are 0.058 and 0.056, respectively. The structure consists of NbO/sub 6/ octahedra and AsO/sub 4/ tetrahedra sharing vertices, forming infinite chains (NbO/sub 6/-AsO/sub 4/)infinity parallel to the a axis. Two chains are linked together by Nb-O-Nb and Nb-O-As bonds. These double chains are connected by vertices, forming a three-dimensional network. The potassium atoms are located in tunnels parallel to the a axis.
