The rare-earth borate Sc3B5O12 was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 6 GPa and 1100 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The single-crystal structure determination revealed an isotypy to RE3B5O12 (RE = Er-Lu). Sc3B5O12 crystallizes in the rare space group Pmna (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 1245.4(3), b = 443.46(9), c = 1222.1(2) pm, V = 0.675(1) nm3, R1 = 0.0520, and wR2 = 0.0860 (all data). The structure of Sc3B5O12 is composed of layers of condensed BO4 tetrahedra, separated by eight-fold coordinated scandium ions

The strontium tungstate compound Sr3W2O9 was prepared by a high-pressure synthesis technique. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The structure was found to be a hettotype structure of the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9, which has corner-sharing octahedra with a trigonal symmetry. Sr3W2O9 has a monoclinic unit cell of C2/c symmetry. One characteristic of the structure is the breaking of the threefold rotation symmetry existing in the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9. The substitution of Sr at the Ba site results in a significant shortening of the interlayer distances of the [AO3] layers (A = Ba, Sr) and causes a distortion in the crystal structure. In Sr3W2O9, there is an off-centre displacement of W6+ ions in the WO6 octahedra. Such a displacement is also observed in the high-pressure phase of Ba3W2O9.
