LiDy(PO3)4
Single crystals of lithium dysprosium polyphosphate, LiDy(PO3)4, were prepared by the flux method.The atomic arrangement is built up by 1073spx infinite (PO3)n chains extending along the b axis.Dy3+ and Li+ cations alternate in the middle of four such chains, with Dy.Li distances of 3.54 (1) and 3.48 (1) Å.The DyO8 dodecahedr
