AbstractThe title compound β-Eu(BO2)3 was synthesized in a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4 GPa and 1473 K. The europium borate crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62) with the lattice parameters a = 16.071(2), b = 7.440(4), and c = 12.362(5) Å. The structure is isotypic to the already known meta-borates β-RE(BO2)3 (RE = Y, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy–Lu) and is built up of approximately triangular ribbons of BO4 tetrahedra. The compound was further characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy and shows a typical Eu3+ line emission upon excitation at 448 nm.

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.

AbstractSingle crystals of the hydrous cadmium borate Cd6B22O39·H2O were obtained through a high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 4.7 GPa and 1000 °C using a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. CdO and partially hydrolyzed B2O3 were used as starting materials. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study has revealed that the structure of Cd6B22O39·H2O is similar to that of the type M6B22O39·H2O (M=Fe, Co). Layers of corner-sharing BO4 groups are interconnected by BO3 groups to form channels containing the metal cations, which are six- and eight-fold coordinated by oxygen atoms. The compound crystallizes in the space group Pnma (no. 62) [R1=0.0379, wR2=0.0552 (all data)] with the unit cell dimensions a=1837.79(5), b=777.92(2), c=819.08(3) pm, and V=1171.00(6) Å3. The IR and Raman spectra reflect the structural characteristics of Cd6B22O39·H2O.

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.

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.

The title compound has been synthesized under 4 GPa and at 500 ◦C from Na2O andMnO as starting materials. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray powder pattern indicates that Na6MnO4 is isostructural to Na6ZnO4 and thus is representing the second manifestation of an “isolated” [MnO4]6− anion after Na14Mn2O9. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal system in space group P63mc (no. 186) with a = 7.6631(2) and c = 5.9013(2) ° A, V = 300.1 °A3, and Z = 2.

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.
