RbLiB6O10 (RLBO) single crystals were obtained from a flux by TSSG method and the phases were defined by X-ray powder diffraction method. Crystal structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. The crystal has an orthorhombic elementary cell, and the lattice parameters are determined, noncentrosymmetrical space group Fdd2. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
