The binary system Bi2O3–La2O3with La2O3≥ 50 mole% has been investigated at 950–1000°C. The results revealed three compounds: Bi8La10O27, Bi2.4La3.6O9, and Bi2La4O9. Bi2.4La3.6O9has a rhombohedral subcell with hexagonal lattice parametersa= 3.96017(5) Å,c= 9.9691(2) Å, and space groupR3m. It is proba...
