| Abstract: | The first mixed calcium zinc borate with a new fundamental building block (FBB) [B8O17], Ca1.13Zn0.87B8O14 has been successfully synthesized. It exhibits two independent interpenetrating three-dimensional B−O anion networks constructed by [B8O17] groups, enriching the structural diversity of B−O configurations. In particular, the UV-Vis-NIR diffuse-reflectance spectrum shows that it has a short UV cutoff edge (<195 nm). |
