“…Third, hitherto only a very few chalcogenide borates have been discovered (Table S1), meaning that a big blank can be filled for this system. The already-known chalcogenide borates (Table S1) include Zn 8 Se 2 (BO 2 ) 12 , RE 3 S 3 BO 3 (RE = Sm, Gd), , Eu 9 MgS 2 B 20 O 41 , Eu 2 B 5 O 9 S, Eu 4.5 (B 5 O 9 ) 2 SI, and Cd 3 B 7 O 13 S 2 . They demonstrate versatile borate ion networks, and Q 2– anions have almost no influence on these networks.…”

Chalcogenide borates were very rarely investigated in the past. As the second selenide borate, YSeBO 2 obtained by a high-temperature solid-state reaction crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Cmc2 1 with a novel structure type. Its structure consists of two basic building units, [BO 3 ] 3− planar triangles and [YO 3 Se 4 ] 11− pentagonal bipyramids, and features the [YSeBO 2 ] n planar belt. Second-harmonic-generation measurement shows its phase-matchable activity. YSeBO 2 has an optical energy gap of 3.45 eV. Density functional theory calculation is also performed, addressing the electronic structure and nonlinearoptical property.

“…In addition, chalcogenide borates demonstrate rich magnetic behavior. The magnetic interactions in Gd 3 S 3 BO 3 and Sm 3 S 3 BO 3 are antiferromagnetic and of the Van Vleck paramagnetic type, respectively. , Differently, Eu 9 MgS 2 B 20 O 41 represents a new type of quantum-spin-liquid material . Apart from their physical performances, their structures are also amazing.…”

New compounds with multiple anions are receiving increasing interest in view of their diverse structures and physical properties. Here we report four isostructural hexanary RE6Ta2MgQB8O26 (RE = Sm, Eu, Gd; Q = S, Se), belonging to the rare chalcogenide borates. Their structures feature an unprecedented [B4O10]8– unit comprised of one BO4 and three BO3 units. Their 3D structures are constructed by the connection between QRE6 octahedra and the ∞{[Mg(TaB4O13)2]16–} polyanionic layer. Density functional theory calculations on the electronic structure and a birefringence of 4 are also performed.

“…The ABI fluxes have also been employed to synthesize a variety of oxychalcogenide compounds. These are predominately oxyselenides (Tougait and Ibers, 2000b , c , 2001 ; Nitsche et al, 2014 ; Liu et al, 2015 ; Peschke et al, 2015 , 2017a , b ; Peschke and Johrendt, 2016 , 2017 ), but also include oxysulfides (Zeng et al, 1999 , 2002 ; Huang et al, 2000 ; Chi et al, 2016 ), and oxytellurides (Liu et al, 2007 ). In many cases, the ABI flux is utilized as a recrystallizing agent.…”

“Soft” Alkali Bromide and Iodide Fluxes for Crystal Growth

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this review we discuss general trends in the use of alkali bromide and iodide (ABI) fluxes for exploratory crystal growth. The ABI fluxes are ionic solution fluxes at moderate to high temperatures, 207 to ∼1,300 • C, which offer a good degree of flexibility in the selection of the temperature profile and solubility. Although their main use is to dissolve and recrystallize "soft" species such as chalcogenides, many compositions with "hard" anions, including oxides and nitrides, have been obtained from the ABI fluxes, highlighting their unique versatility. ABI fluxes can serve to provide a reaction and crystallization medium for different types of starting materials, mostly the elemental and binary compounds. As the use of alkali halide fluxes creates an excess of the alkali cations, these fluxes are often reactive, incorporating one of its components to the final compositions, although some examples of non-reactive ABI fluxes are known.
