Abstract:Thermal expansion of four strontium borates has been studied by high-temperature powder X-ray diffraction. Strong anisotropy of thermal expansion is observed for the structures of Sr3B2O6 (0D) and SrB2O4 (1D) based on triangles BO3 only: The high expansion occurs perpendicular to the BO3 plane, i.e. along the direction of the less strong bonds in the crystal structure. The monoclinic Sr2B16O26 (3D) borate expands dramatically due to shear deformations in monoclinic plane: Monoclinic β′ angle changes significantly because it is not fixed by symmetry. In contrast to these borates, SrB4O7 (3D) borate built up from tetrahedra only expands almost isotropically. Average value of volume expansion is 36 × 10?6 K?1 for studied Sr-borates. Tendency of slight decrease in the volume thermal expansion and sharp decrease in the melting points is observed with an increase in B2O3 content as a result of the degree of polymerization increase. As the B2O3 content grows in Sr-borates, the structural complexity increases in the SrO–B2O3 system due to more complex anionic structure. Inverse “melting temperature decrease—structural complexity increase” correlation is revealed.
