Abstract

Mg 5 TiO 4 (BO 3 ) 2 . -The structure of the known title compound is refined for the first time. Single crystals are obtained from a melt of MgO, TiO 2 , and H 3 BO 3 (Pt crucible, air, 1623 K, 6 h). Mg 5 TiO 4 (BO 3 ) 2 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbam (Z = 2) and is isostructural with the mineral ludwigite, Mg 2 FeO 2 BO 3 . -(KAWANO, T.; YAMANE*, H.; Acta Crystallogr., Sect.
