The crystal structure of Ca{sub 12}Al{sub 14}O{sub 32}Cl{sub 2} was determined from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data (CuK{alpha}{sub 1}) using the Rietveld method, with the anisotropic displacement parameters being assigned for all atoms. The crystal structure is cubic (space group I4-bar 3d, Z=2) with lattice dimensions a=1.200950(5) nm and V=1.73211(1) nm{sup 3}. The reliability indices calculated from the Rietveld method were R{sub wp}=8.48% (S=1.21), R{sub p}=6.05%, R{sub B}=1.27% and R{sub F}=1.01%. The validity of the structural model was verified by the three-dimensional electron density distribution, the structural bias of which was reduced as much as possible using the maximum-entropy methods-based pattern fitting (MPF). The reliability indices calculated from the MPF were R{sub B}=0.75% and R{sub F}=0.56%. In the structural model there are one Ca site, two Al sites, two O sites and one Cl site. This compound is isomorphous with Ca{sub 12}Al{sub 10.6}Si{sub 3.4}O{sub 32}Cl{sub 5.4}. Europium-doped sample Ca{sub 12}Al{sub 14}O{sub 32}Cl{sub 2}:Eu{sup 2+} was prepared and the photoluminescence properties were presented. The excitation spectrum consisted of two wide bands, which were located at about 268 and 324 nm. The emission spectrum, when excited at 324 nm, resulted in indigo light with a peak at about 442 nm. - Graphical abstract: A portion of the crystal structure of Ca{sub 12}Al{sub 14}O{sub 32}Cl{sub 2} showing eight-membered AlO{sub 4} rings and Ca-Cl-Ca unit.
