The cubic iron hydroxy boracite Fe3B7O13OH・1.5H2O was synthesized from Fe2O3 and B2O3 under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 3 GPa and 960 °C in a modified Walker-type multianvil apparatus. The crystal structure was determined at room temperature by X-ray diffraction on single crystals. It crystallizes in the cubic space group F4̄3c (Z = 8) with the parameters a = 1222.4(2) pm, V = 1.826(4) nm3, R1 = 0.0362, and wR2 = 0.0726 (all data). The B-O network is similar to that of other cubic boracites.

AbstractThe non-centrosymmetric scandium borate ScB6O9(OH)3 was obtained through a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 6 GPa and 1473 K. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that the structure is isotypic to InB6O9(OH)3 containing borate triple layers separated by scandium layers. The compound crystallizes in the space group Fdd2 with the lattice parameters a = 38.935(4), b = 4.4136(4), and c = 7.6342(6) Å. Powder X-ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy were used to further characterize the compound and verify the proposed structure solution.

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.

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.

AbstractNi6B22O39·H2O was synthesized in a high-pressure/high-temperature reaction at 5 GPa/900°C. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmn21 (no. 31) with the lattice parameters a=7.664(2), b=8.121(2) and c=17.402(2) Å. The crystal structure is discussed with regard to the isotypic compounds M6B22O39·H2O (M=Fe, Co) and the structurally related phase Cd6B22O39·H2O. Furthermore, the characterization of Ni6B22O39·H2O via X-ray powder diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy is reported.

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.

The high-pressure phase β -ZrB2O5 represents the first ternary borate in the system Zr-B-O. The compound was synthesized under high-pressure / high-temperature conditions of 7.5 GPa and 1100 °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 monoclinic zirconium borate crystallizes in the space group P21/c with the lattice parameters a = 439.04(9), b = 691.2(2), c = 896.8(2) pm, and β = 90.96(3)°. The structure is isotypic to the high-pressure phase β -HfB2O5, which is built up from layers of exclusively corner-sharing BO4 tetrahedra. Between these layers, the cations are coordinated square-antiprismatically by eight oxygen atoms.
