| Abstract: | In contrast to the well-investigated halogen-containing borates and carbonates, very few halogen-containing borate carbonate compounds have been reported. Specifically, no example of borate carbonate fluoride has been synthesized successfully until now. Herein, the planar π-conjugated units BO3]3? and CO3]2? and the F? ions are introduced simultaneously into one crystal structure resulting in the first borate carbonate fluoride, Ba3(BO3)(CO3)F, by the high-temperature solution method in the atmosphere. Its structure features a hexagonal channel formed by the BO3]3? and CO3]2? units with the F3Ba8]13+ trimers filled in the channel. Various characterizations including single crystal- and powder-XRD, EDX, IR, UV-vis-NIR, and TG-DSC, together with the first principles calculation have been carried out to verify the structure and fully understand the structure–property relationships. |
