Abstract
Coarse colorless single crystals of lithium lutetium bis[orthomolybdate(VI)], LiLu[MoO4]2, were obtained as a by-product from a reaction aimed at lithium derivatives of lutetium molybdate. The title compound crystallizes in the scheelite structure type (tetragonal, space group I41/a) with two formula units per unit cell. The Wyckoff position 4b (site symmetry \overline{4}) comprises a mixed occupancy of Li+ and Lu3+ cations in a 1:1 ratio. In comparison with a previous powder X-ray study [Cheng et al. (2015). Dalton Trans.
44, 18078–18089.] all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters.
