A new anhydrous rare-earth metal iodate fluoride, Ce­(IO3)2F2, was rationally designed and synthesized. Ce­(IO3)2F2 features unique zigzag ∞[CeF2]2+ chains that are bridged by IO3 – groups, creating a complex three-dimensional structure, which is conducive to the orderly arrangement of the lone pair...
