Synthesis and characterization of the alkali borate-nitrates Na3–x Kx[B6O10]NO3 (x=0.5, 0.6, 0.7)

Abstract Three novel mixed alkali borate-nitrates Na3−x Kx[B6O10]NO3 (x=0.5, 0.6, 0.7) were synthesized hydrothermally; their crystal structures were determined through Rietveld analyses, and supported through EDX as well as vibrational spectroscopy. The phases represent solid solutions of the alkali borate-nitrate Na3(NO3)[B6O10], which was reported in 2002 as a “New type of boron-oxygen framework in the Na3(NO3)[B6O10] crystal structure” (O. V. Yakubovich, I. V. Perevoznikova, O. V. Dimitrova, V. S. Urusov, Dokl. Phys. 2002, 47, 791). Only two of the three crystallographically independent Na+ positions in the new structures are partially substituted by K+; a pure potassium borate-nitrate was not formed until now. The cell parameters of the novel phases vary from a=1261.72(5)–1267.12(5), b=1004.19(5)–1007.96(4), c=770.55(3)–774.38(3) pm, and V=0.97630(6)–0.98905(6) nm3 in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (no. 62), in alignment with increasing K+ content.
