Layers

Two gallium-based
borates, K3Ba3Li2Ga4B6O20F (I) and Rb3Ba3Li2Ga4B6O20F (II), have been successfully grown in the M2O (M
= K, Rb)–LiF–B2O3 flux. They can
be recognized as the element cosubstitutions of Sr for K/Rb and Ba
and of Be for Li and Ga from Sr2Be2(BO3)2O (SBBO), which uses poisonous beryllium oxide during
the synthesis and crystal growth process and also exhibits the problem
of structural instability. The isostructural borates crystallize into
the noncentrosymmetric space group P6̅2c, with a = 8.6398(12) Å and c = 16.827(3) Å for I and a = 8.7214(12) Å and c = 17.180(3) Å for II. In the structures, the basic anionic units are the BO3 triangles and GaO4 and LiO3F tetrahydra.
These anionic units bond together through O atoms, forming the infinitely
extended ∞2[LiGa2B3O12]8– single layer at the ab plane. The adjacent layers
are further coupled to the ∞2[Li2Ga4B6O20F]9– double layers by means of bridged
O and F atoms. Then the adjacent double layers are strongly joined
together via O atoms of the GaO4 tetrahedra to form a three-dimensional
skeleton, with K/Rb and Ba atoms occupying the network for charge
balance. I and II have considerable second-harmonic-generation
responses of about 0.7 and 0.5 as large as that of KH2PO4, respectively. In addition, the first-principles calculations
were conducted to confirm that they address the structural instability
issues in SBBO.
