Low-temperature rubidium samarium dimolybdate, ¦Â-RbSm(MoO4)2, microplates have been prepared by solid state synthesis at 723 K by 70 h and 893 K by 150 h. The crystal structure of ¦Â-RbSm(MoO4)2 has been first refined by the Rietveld method in the space group Pbcn with unit cell parameters a=5.1431(2) ?, b=18.8195(7) ?, and c=8.1641(3) ? (RB=4.82 % ). The crystal structure of ¦Â-RbSm(MoO4)2 consists of the layers of MoO4 tetrahedrons corner-sharing with SmO8 square antiprisms. About 20 narrow Raman lines have been observed in Raman spectra recorded for the ¦Â-RbSm(MoO4)2 powder sample.
