Abstract

Nioboaeschynite-(Ce), ideally Ce(NbTi)O₆ [cerium(III) niobium(V) titanium(IV) hexa-oxide; refined formula of the natural sample is Ca _0.25Ce_0.79(Nb_1.14Ti_0.86)O ₆], belongs to the aeschynite mineral group which is characterized by the general formula AB₂(O,OH)₆, where eight-coordinated A is a rare earth element, Ca, Th or Fe, and six-coordinated B is Ti, Nb, Ta or W. The general structural feature of nioboaeschynite-(Ce) resembles that of the other members of the aeschynite group. It is characterized by edge-sharing dimers of [(Nb,Ti)O₆] octa-hedra which share corners to form a three-dimensional framework, with the A sites located in channels parallel to the b axis. The average A-O and B-O bond lengths in nioboaeschynite-(Ce) are 2.471 and 1.993 Å, respectively. Moreover, another eight-coordinated site, designated as the C site, is also located in the channels and is partially occupied by A-type cations. Additionally, the refinement revealed a splitting of the A site, with Ca displaced slightly from Ce (0.266 Å apart), presumably resulting from the crystal-chemical differences between the Ce ³⁺ and Ca²⁺ cations.
