Description
Syntheses with lanthanoid metals in glassy silica ampoules often tend to yield oxosilicates as by-products. Thus, the two presented silicates Pr$_2$O[SiO$_4$] and Sm$_2$O[SiO$_4$] were also obtained from different reactions including the elemental lanthanoids, but with other target compounds. Both crystallize isostructurally to the Ln$_2$O[SiO$_4$] series adapting the known A-type structure.
