Abstract

The crystal structure of the new synthetic compound Ba-5[B20O33(OH)(4)] . H2O was established by the methods of X-ray diffraction (a Stoe IPDS diffractometer, lambda MoKalpha, 1860 independent reflections, anisotropic refinement, R = 1.95%, localization of hydrogen atoms): a = 9.495(2) Angstrom, b = 6.713(1) Angstrom, c = 11.709(2) Angstrom, beta = 95.09(1)degrees, sp. gr. P2, Z = 1. The structure is based on double pseudohexagonal layers consisting of BO4-tetrahedra and BO3 triangles linked into three-membered rings in two mutually perpendicular directions. The double layers adjacent along the [100] direction are linked together through the Ba-polyhedra and hydrogen bonds with the participation of the OH-groups occupying the "end" vertices of two B-triangles. The interlayer space is also filled with a sheet of Ba-polyhedra. The structure of the compound is compared to the structures of topologically similar Ba and Ca berates and hydroborates.

Borate

A borate is any of a range of boron oxyanions, anions containing boron and oxygen, such as orthoborate , metaborate , or tetraborate ; or any salt of such anions, such as sodium metaborate, and borax . The name also refers to esters of such anions, such as trimethyl borate . Borate ions occur, alone or with other anions, in many borate and borosilicate minerals such as borax, boracite, ulexite (boronatrocalcite) and colemanite. Borates also occur in seawater, where they make an important contribution to the absorption of low frequency sound in seawater.

Hydrogen bond

In chemistry, a hydrogen bond (or H-bond) is a primarily electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen (H) atom which is covalently bound to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group (Dn), and another electronegative atom bearing a lone pair of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor (Ac). Such an interacting system is generally denoted , where the solid line denotes a polar covalent bond, and the dotted or dashed line indicates the hydrogen bond.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. Hydrogen is the lightest element. At standard conditions hydrogen is a gas of diatomic molecules having the formula . It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and highly combustible. Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all normal matter. Stars such as the Sun are mainly composed of hydrogen in the plasma state. Most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water and organic compounds.
