The trigonal polymorph of strontium tetraborate, β-SrB4O7
نویسندگان
چکیده
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, β-SrB(4)O(7), contains five Sr atoms (three located on a threefold rotation axis), twelve B and 21 O atoms. The structure is made up from BO(3) triangles and BO(4) tetra-hedra in a 1:1 ratio. Pairs of BO(3) triangles are linked to BO(4) tetra-hedra via common corners, forming chains. These chains are further linked to adjacent chains through corner-sharing, leading to a three-dimensional framework with channels running parallel to [001]. The Sr(2+) ions reside in the channels and exhibit strongly distorted polyhedra The density of the β-polymorph is considerably lower than that of α-SrB(4)O(7), which is constructed solely from BO(4) tetra-hedra.

Crystals of β-Zn(3)(BO(3))(PO(4)) have been grown by the Kyropoulos method. The asymmetric unit contains three Zn sites, three B-atom sites (all with symmetry 3), two P sites (both with m symmetry) and nine O-atom sites (four with m symmetry). The fundamental building units of the title structure are isolated BO(3) triangles and PO(4) tetra-hedra, which are bridged by ZnO(4) tetra-hedra or ZnO(...
متن کاملSynthesis, Structures, and Physical Properties of Yttrium-Doped Strontium Manganese Oxide Films
Cubic strontium manganese oxide is an end-member of the colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) family of manganese-based perovskites, Ln1-xAExMnO3. Because normal synthesis conditions lead to the 4-H hexagonal polymorph, high-pressure conditions are typically used to obtain the cubic perovskite polymorph. In this work, we describe the synthesis and structural/physical characterization of the cubic per...
متن کاملA new polymorph of Lu(PO3)3
A new polymorph of lutetium polyphosphate, Lu(PO(3))(3), was found to be isotypic with the trigonal form of Yb(PO(3))(3). Two of the three Lu atoms occupy special positions (Wyckoff positions 3a and 3b, site symmetry ). The atomic arrangement consists of infinite helical polyphosphate chains running along the c axis, with a repeat period of 12 PO(4) tetra-hedra, joined with LuO(6) octa-hedra.
