The structure of rubidium gadolinium bis(tungstate), RbGd(WO4)2, has been determined. The crystal is built up from corner- and edge-sharing WO6 octahedral and GdO8 polyhedral groups, giving rise to a Gd-WO4 polyhedral backbone surrounding structural cavities filled with Rb+ cations. The Gd and Rb atoms lie on twofold axes.
The Badain Jaran desert in western Inner Mongolia in China has a unique landscape that contains 72 lakes, with a total water surface area of 23 km2, and the world's highest stationary sand dunes, which are up to 500 m tall--despite the prevailing dry and windy weather conditions. Here we present evidence of a major groundwater system that underpins the factors leading to this landscape. Our finding could transform plans for the region's water resources.
In the title compound, Bi(2)B(8)O(15), the Bi atom is coordinated to five or six O atoms. The B atoms exhibit two kinds of hybridization, sp(2) and sp(3), seen in the BO(3) triangles and BO(4) tetrahedra, respectively. Three BO(3) triangles are connected to form a B(3)O(6) planar ring. All atoms in the structure are connected together to form an infinite three-dimensional network.
