Abstract NaLa 9 Ge 6 O 26 , hexagonal, a =0.9883(2) nm, c =0.7267(3) nm, V =6.147(3)×10 5 nm 3 , space group P 6 3 / m , Z =1, D calc = 5.739 g cm −3 , λ (Mo Kα )=0.071069 nm, μ =225.16 cm −1 , F (000)=924, T =298 K, R =0.031, R w =0.037 for 966 measured unique reflections. Single crystals of NaLa 9 Ge 6 O 26 were grown both by a high-temperature flux method and from a melt system. The crystal structure was found to be similar to that of the silicate oxyapatite NaY 9 Si 6 O 26 . The 4 f cation sites are occupied disorderedly by La and Na. On the other hand, the 6 h cation sites are occupied by La only. This compound constitutes a new member of the oxyapatite-type structure family with general formula A x Ln 10− x B 6 O 24 O 3− x ( x =1, A =alkali metals, B =Si, Ge, Ln =rare earth).
