Crystal Chemistry of High-Temperature Borates.


ABSTRACT: In recent years borate-based crystals has attracted substantial interest among the research community. The overall importance of this family of materials is reflected in miscellaneous articles and several reviews that have been published over the years. Crystalline borate materials exhibit numerous interesting physical properties, which make them promising for further practical applications. Diversity of functional characteristics results from their high structural flexibility caused in the linkage of planar/non-planar BO3 groups and BO4 tetrahedra, which can occur as isolated or condensed structural units. This report is a brief review on crystal chemistry and structure features of anhydrous/high-temperature borates. Polymorphism of boron-oxygen radicals has been considered basing on cations' nature and synthesis conditions. Analysis of the laws governing borates structures and general principles of their systematics was discussed. As a result, an alternative classification of anhydrous compounds has been considered. It is based on four orders of their subdivision: (1) by the variety of anion formers, (2) by the cation charge, (3) by the N = NM:NB, i.e., ratio of metal atoms number to the ratio of boron atoms number (N-factor) value indicating the borate structural type (if it is known), (4) by the cation type and size.
