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

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.

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.

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.

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.
