Abstract: | New Borates of the Alkali Metals: NaLi2[BO3] The hitherto unknown NaLi2[BO]3 is prepared in the shape of monoclinic, colourless-transparent and prismatic single crystals [a = 950.7(4) pm, b = 1 203.7(4) pm, c = 493.0(3) pm, β = 104.0(10)°, dx = 2.32 g/cm3, dpyk = 2.28 g/cm3]. The crystal structure has been solved by four-circle-diffractometer [PW 1100, MoK, R = 7.52%, Rw = 4.66%]. Effective Coordination Numbers, ECoN, these via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, MEFIR, are calculated. |
