New compounds CaY2Ge3O10and CaY2Ge4O12were prepared by heating mixtures of CaCO3, Y2O3and GeO2at 1200°C. CaY2Ge3O10is stable at 1300°C, while CaY2Ge4O12decomposes into a melt and CaY2Ge3O10at approximately 1250°C. We obtained single crystals of CaY2Ge3O10by cooling a sample with an initial composition of Ca:Y:Ge=1:2:8 from 1300°C with a rate of −6°C/h. The crystal structure of CaY2Ge3O10was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. CaY2Ge3O10crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a=6.0906(8), b=6.8329(8), c=18.752(2)Å and β=109.140(3)°, Z=4, and R1=0.029 for I>2σ(I). In the structure of CaY2Ge3O10, Ca and Y atoms are situated disorderly in three 7-fold coordination sites between isolated germanate groups of triple GeO4tetrahedra, Ge3O10. The structural formula of CaY2Ge3O10is expressed as (Ca0.45Y0.55)(Ca0.46Y0.54)(Ca0.09Y0.91)Ge3O10. The crystal structure of CaY2Ge4O12was analyzed by the Rietveld method for the X-ray powder diffraction pattern. CaY2Ge4O12is isotypic with SrNa2P4O12, crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group P4/nbm, a=9.99282(6), c=5.06701(4)Å, Z=2, Rwp=0.092, Rp=0.067. CaY2Ge4O12contains four-membered GeO4-tetrahedra rings, Ge4O12. Eight-fold coordinated square-anitiprism sites and 6-fold octahedral sites between the layers of the Ge4O12rings are occupied by Y atom and Ca/Y atoms, respectively The structural formula is Y(Ca0.5Y0.5)2Ge4O12.
