A single-crystal of a new europium borosilicate, Eu3BSi2O10, was obtained by high-temperature solid-state reaction and chemical vapour transport method. The structure is composed of two types of isolated anions: (BSi1O6)5- and (Si2O4)4- layers, alternating along the c axis, which are linked through three crystallographically independent Eu3+ ions to form a three-dimensional network structure.
