Fe2B2O5, synthesized under mild high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 3 GPa and 960 ◦C, possesses a structure isotypic to the triclinic pyroborates M2B2O5 with M = Mg, Mn, Co, and Cd. Although the parameter pressure is not essential to the synthesis of Fe2B2O5, the specific conditions enhance the crystallinity of the product. Therefore, the crystal structure of the iron pyroborate Fe2B2O5 could be determined via single crystal diffraction data [space group P1̄ (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 323.1(1), b = 615.7(2), c = 935.5(2) pm, α = 104.70(3), β = 90.82(3), γ = 91.70(3)◦, V = 0.1799(1) nm3, R1 = 0.0409, and wR2 = 0.0766 (all data)]. The structure is built up from layers of isolated pyroborate units ([B2O5]4−), which are composed of two corner-sharing BO3 triangles. These pyroborate layers serve to bridge 4×1 ribbons of edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra by both edgeand corner-sharing.

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.

The rare-earth borate Sc3B5O12 was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 6 GPa and 1100 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The single-crystal structure determination revealed an isotypy to RE3B5O12 (RE = Er-Lu). Sc3B5O12 crystallizes in the rare space group Pmna (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 1245.4(3), b = 443.46(9), c = 1222.1(2) pm, V = 0.675(1) nm3, R1 = 0.0520, and wR2 = 0.0860 (all data). The structure of Sc3B5O12 is composed of layers of condensed BO4 tetrahedra, separated by eight-fold coordinated scandium ions

The praseodymium orthoborate λ -PrBO3 was synthesized from Pr6O11, B2O3, and PrF3 under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 3 GPa and 800 °C in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at room temperature. The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic aragonite-type structure, space group Pnma, with the lattice parameters a = 577.1(2), b = 506.7(2), c = 813.3(2) pm, and V = 0.2378(2) nm3, with R1 = 0.0400 and wR2 = 0.0495 (all data). Within the trigonal-planar BO3 groups, the average B-O distance is 137.2 pm. The praseodymium atoms are ninefold coordinated by oxygen atoms.

A high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 7.5 GPa and 1673 K led to the formation of the new compound βY2B4O9. In contrast to the already known polymorph αY2B4O9, which crystallizes in the space group C2/c, the reported structure could be solved via single-crystal Xray diffraction in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) and is isotypic to the already known lanthanide borates βDy2B4O9 and βGd2B4O9. Furthermore, the photoluminescence of an europium doped sample of βY2B4O9:Eu3+ (8%) was investigated.

The iron borate β -FeB2O4 was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 8 GPa and 1030 ◦C. The structure of β -FeB2O4 is isotypic to HP-NiB2O4, representing the second example of a borate in which every BO4 tetrahedron shares a common edge with a second one. β - FeB2O4 crystallizes in the space group C2/c (Z = 4) with the parameters a = 950.0(2), b = 562.9(2), c = 443.7(1) pm, β = 108.50(3)◦, V = 0.22495(8) nm3, R1 = 0.0293, and wR2 = 0.0647 (all data). The structure consists of layers of BO4 tetrahedra, connected via strings of edge-sharing FeO6 octahedra. A ligand field splitting of Δo ≈8860 cm−1 is estimated from polarized single-crystal electronic absorption spectra of β -FeB2O4. The tetragonal distortion of the ligand field in the [FeIIO6] chromophore amounts to −(8/3)dσ ≈2900 cm−1. In the range of 16000 cm−1 ≤ṽ ≤24000 cm−1, rather strong spin-forbidden transitions within the [FeIIO6] chromophore are observed

AbstractOrthorhombic dysprosium orthogallate DyGaO3 and trigonal gallium orthoborate GaBO3 were synthesized in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 8.5 GPa/1350 °C and 8 GPa/700 °C, respectively. Both crystal structures could be determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature.
