A high-pressure/high-temperature experiment at 5 GPa/973 K revealed the existence of a new nickel borate hydrate. The crystal structure of Ni 3 B 18 O 28 (OH) 4 ·H 2 O was elucidated through X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P62m (no. 189) with the lattice parameters a = 8.2599(4) Å, c = 7.6963(4) Å, and V = To date, seven nickel borates are listed in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) and in the International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) databases. Five of these compounds were synthesized at ambient or moderate pressure {Ni[B 6 O 7 (OH) 6 ]·5H 2 O, Ni(H 2 O) 4 [B 6 O 7 (OH) 6 ]·H 2 O, NiB 12 O 14 (OH) 10 , Ni 3 (BO 3 ) 2 , and Ni 2 B 2 O 5 }, and two were synthesized under highpressure conditions (HP-NiB 2 O 4 and -NiB 4 O 7 ). [1] Compared to the chemically and structurally related systems Fe-B-O(-H) and Co-B-O(-H), the number of reported nickel borates is small, especially as far as the high-pressure phases are concerned. As high-pressure syntheses of transition-metal borates already led to the discovery of numerous compounds with previously unknown compositions or new structural motifs, for example, Co 7 B 24 O 42 (OH) 2 ·2H 2 O, [2] Cd(NH 3 ) 2 [B 3 O 5 (NH 3 )] 2 , [3] HP-MB 2 O 4 (HP = high-pressure; M = Co, Ni), [1j,4] and -FeB 2 O 4 , [5] we were motivated to further explore the field of high-pressure nickel borates. The first result of these investigations was the synthesis of the third high-pressure nickel borate, γ-NiB 4 O 7 . [6] Our discovery of another hitherto unknown nickel borate during the optimization of the synthesis of γ-NiB 4 O 7 underlines the potential of high-pressure syntheses for research focused on the development of new materials. In this paper, we report the synthesis of Ni 3 B 18 O 28 (OH) 4 ·H 2 O and its characterization through X-ray single-crystal and powder diffraction, magnetic measurements, vibrational spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis.[a]
