Abstract
AbstractThe new zinc borate Zn6.1B6O19H7.8 was synthesized via a high‐pressure/high‐temperature multianvil approach at 10 GPa and 1573 K. The structure of the non‐centrosymmetric compound was investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction measurements, exhibiting (BO4), (ZnO5), and (ZnO6) units including a distinct disorder on a part of the zinc and boron sites. The IR spectroscopic data on the bulk material confirm the presence of hydroxyl groups in this new borate.
