The crystal structures of a series of compounds with the composition Ln3GaO6(Ln=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) synthesized by solid-state reaction at 1400°C are investigated. X-ray diffraction shows that Ln3GaO6has a non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic structure (space group Cmc21). Lattice parameters a,b,c and cell volume and the average distances between Ln(1)–O, Ln(2)–O of these compounds decrease with the decreasing of the radii of trivalent Ln ions, which accord with the expected lanthanide contraction behavior. There are two sites of seven-fold coordination for Ln atoms with oxygens, and Ga atoms are in oxygen tetrahedra which are distorted and elongated along the a-axis. Magnetization measurements indicate that the susceptibility χ changes with temperature in Curie-type manner.
