ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Li₂Pb₂CuB₄O₁₀ with Isolated [CuB₄O₁₀]^6‐ Units.

Abstract

Units. -The title compound is prepared by solid state reaction of Li2CO3, PbO, CuO, and H3BO3 in air (550-650°C, 2-3 d). Li2Pb2CuB4O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 4 (single crystal XRD). The structure contains isolated [CuB4O10] 6units formed by distorted planar CuO4 squares and triangular BO3 groups. The [CuB 4 O 10 ] 6units are linked by LiO 4 and PbO 3 polyhedra. -(LI, H.; PAN*, S.; WU, H.; SMIT, J. P.; POEPPELMEIER, K. R.; J. Alloys Compd. 509 (2011) 7, 3310-3313, http://dx.
