The vanadium orthoborate VBO3 was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 7.5 GPa and 1250 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined on the basis of single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at r. t. The title compound crystallizes in the trigonal calcite structure, space group R3̄c, with the lattice parameters a = 462.0(1) and c = 1450.9(3) pm. Within the trigonal planar BO3 groups, the B-O distance is 138.8(3) pm. The vanadium atoms have a slightly distorted octahedral oxygen coordination (V-O: 202.3(2) pm).

AbstractThe mixed cation triel borate Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.5 GPa and 1300°C. Although the product could not be reproduced in further experiments, its crystal structure could be reliably determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Ga4In4B15O33(OH)3 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (origin choice 2) with the lattice parameters a = 11.382(2), c = 15.244(2) Å, and V = 1974.9(4) Å3. The structure of the quaternary triel borate consists of a complex network of BO4 tetrahedra, edge-sharing InO6 octahedra in dinuclear units, and very dense edge-sharing GaO6 octahedra in tetranuclear units.

AbstractOrthorhombic In3B5O12 was synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 12.2 GPa and 1500°C. Its structure is isotypic to the rare earth analogs RE3B5O12 (RE=Sc, Er–Lu). In the field of indium borate chemistry, In3B5O12 is the third known ternary indium borate besides InBO3 and InB5O9. The crystal structure of In3B5O12 has been determined via single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmna with the lattice parameters a=12.570(2), b=4.5141(4), c=12.397(2) Å, and V=703.4(2) Å3. IR and Raman bands of In3B5O12 were theoretically determined and assigned to experimentally recorded spectra.

Abstractγ-Sm(BO2)3 was obtained via a high-pressure/high-temperature approach in a multi-anvil apparatus at 10 GPa and 1673 K. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca21 (no. 29) with the lattice parameters a = 18.3088(8), b = 4.4181(2), and c = 4.2551(2) Å. The compound was analysed by means of X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy. The structure is isotypic to that of the already known meta-oxoborates γ-RE(BO2)3 (RE = La−Nd) and built up of a highly condensed borate framework containing three-, four-, six-, and ten-membered rings. Next to neodymium, samarium represents the second rare earth element that forms the α-, β-, and γ-modification of the four known rare earth meta-oxoborate structure types.
