LiScSiO4, a new silicate olivine, orthorhombic, Pbnm a = 4.8200 (4) b = 10.4392 (8) c = 5.9720(4) Å, and the binary solid solution series extending to Mg2SiO4 have been synthesized both from oxide mixes in air and by high-temperature solvent growth using lithium molybdo-vanadate as a solvent. Substitution of 2 Mg2+ for Li1+ + Sc3+ confirmed Goldschmidt's proposed Sc3+−Mg2+ diadochy in ferromagnesian silicates.
