Abstract

Trigonal CdSb2O6, prepared as a very crystalline powder by solid state reaction of CdO and Sb2O3, is isostructural with PbSb2O6 Space Group (S.G.) P31m (162), with a = 5.2399(2), c = 4.8045(4) Å, Z = 1 and Dc = 6.57 Mg.m−3. For the refinement of structural parameters from X-ray powder diffraction data two different methods have been employed and compared, both leading to very similar results. The refinements converged to RI = 0.025 using 35 intensities in the incremental optimization technique and to RF = 0.038, RW = 0.033 from 161 reflections in the least-squares refinement.
