X-ray powder diffraction data for five new bismuth yttrium gadolinium oxide compounds synthesized by solid state reaction method are reported. The unit cell dimensions were determined from X-ray diffraction methods, using CuKα radiation, and evaluated by indexing programs. The cubic phase was the sole crystalline phase detected by X-ray diffraction analysis in Bi0.88Y0.06Gd0.06O1.5, Bi0.88Y0.08Gd0.04O1.5, Bi0.82Y0.09Gd0.09O1.5, Bi0.82Y0.12Gd0.06O1.5, and Bi0.82Y0.06Gd0.12O1.5 samples with lattice constants of a=5.5371(1) Å, a=5.5368(1) Å, a=5.5303(2) Å, a=5.53487(8) Å, and a=5.5279(1) Å, respectively. The results are in good agreement with those reported for bismuth yttrium oxide (Bi0.75Y0.25)O1.5 (PDF 01-084-1450).
