Abstract/NotesNioboaeschynite-(Ce), ideally Ce(NbTi)O6[cerium(III) niobium(V) titanium(IV) hexaoxide; refined formula of the natural sample is Ca0.25Ce0.79(Nb1.14Ti0.86)O6], belongs to the aeschynite mineral group which is characterized by the general formulaAB2(O,OH)6, where eight-coordinatedAis a rare earth element, Ca, Th or Fe, and six-coordinatedBis Ti, Nb, Ta or W. The general structural feature of nioboaeschynite-(Ce) resembles that of the other members of the aeschynite group. It is characterized by edge-sharing dimers of [(Nb,Ti)O6] octahedra which share corners to form a three-dimensional framework, with theAsites located in channels parallel to thebaxis. The averageA—O andB—O bond lengths in nioboaeschynite-(Ce) are 2.471 and 1.993 Å, respectively. Moreover, another eight-coordinated site, designated as theCsite, is also located in the channels and is partially occupied byA-type cations. Additionally, the refinement revealed a splitting of theAsite, with Ca displaced slightly from Ce (0.266 Å apart), presumably resulting from the crystal-chemical differences between the Ce3+and Ca2+cations.
