| Abstract: | A new hydrated lithium borate, Li4[B8O13(OH)2]·3H2O, has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction, FT‐IR spectroscopy, simultaneous TGA‐DTA and chemical analysis. It crystallizes in the triclinic, space group  , a=8.4578(5) Å, b=8.7877(5) Å, c=10.8058(7) Å, α=87.740(3)°, β=71.819(3)°, γ=61.569(3)°, Z=2, V=665.26(7) Å3, Dc=2.043 g/cm3. Its crystal structure features polyborate anionic layers with the larger odd 13‐membered boron rings constructed by [B8O13(OH)2]4? FBBs. Through designing the thermochemical cycle, the standard molar enthalpy of formation of this borate was determined to be ?(7953.8±6.6) kJ·mol?1 by using a heat conduction microcalorimeter. |
