New hydrothermally synthesized Bi28V8O62was structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Bi28V8O62crystallizes in the novel type of defect fluorite structure related to the face-centered cubic δ-Bi2O3. It is monoclinic, s. g. P21/c, and the relation to the fluorite subcell is given as a~(3/2)aF+(3/2)cF; b~ -bF; c~2aF-4cF(F in subscript indicate the unit cell parameter of fluorite). Its structure is characterized by slabs of edge sharing OBi4tetrahedra surrounded by the OBi3triangles. As a part of these OBi3triangles, two positionally disordered Bi3+cations were observed in the marginal part of the slabs. The slabs are extending along b axis and are linked by inter-slab portion of the structure composed of VO4tetrahedra and BiO6-xcoordination polyhedra, where x is a number of vacant oxygen sites. Raman spectra verified the coordination environment of vanadium atoms in the structure. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
