β-CaB4O7: A New Polymorph Synthesized under High-Pressure/High-Temperature Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
A new oxoborate β -CaB4O7 has been synthesized under high-pressure/high-temperature conditions from calcium oxide and boron oxide with a Walker-type multianvil apparatus at 7.7 GPa and 1100 ◦C. Single crystal X-ray structure determination of β -CaB4O7 revealed: Pmn21, a = 1058.4(1), b = 436.9(1), c = 419.4(1) pm, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0305, wR2 = 0.0587 (all data). The compound is isotypic to the known oxoborates SrB4O7, PbB4O7, and EuB4O7 exhibiting a network structure of linked BO4 tetrahedra. As a prominent feature of the tetrahedral network an oxygen atom is coordinated to three boron atoms. The relation of the crystal structure of the high-pressure phase β -CaB4O7 to the normalpressure phase α-CaB4O7 as well as the relation to the isotypic phases MB4O7 (M = Sr, Pb, Eu) are discussed. The results of IR-spectroscopic investigations on β -CaB4O7 are also presented.

متن کاملZeta-Fe2O3 – A new stable polymorph in iron(III) oxide family
Iron(III) oxide shows a polymorphism, characteristic of existence of phases with the same chemical composition but distinct crystal structures and, hence, physical properties. Four crystalline phases of iron(III) oxide have previously been identified: α-Fe2O3 (hematite), β-Fe2O3, γ-Fe2O3 (maghemite), and ε-Fe2O3. All four iron(III) oxide phases easily undergo various phase transformations in re...

An extensive experimental screen, coupled with a computational study, revealed seven new solid-state forms of β-resorcylic acid. The known, stable polymorph II° shows a reversible phase transformation to the new, kinetically stable, probably disordered high temperature form I. The study provides a consistent picture of the solid-state of β-resorcylic acid.
