“…The intensity of the green light (λ = 532 nm) produced by Rb3EuB6O12 is about 16 of that produced by the α-quartz standard. The intensity of SHG effect is similar to that of K3YB6O12 [33]. Weak SHG effect of Rb3EuB6O12 and K3YB6O12 is due to the B5O10 groups which are aligned in the almost opposite directions and, consequently, contribute little to the SHG effect.…”

“…The dependence of unit cell volume on the element combination in M3REB6O12 (M = alkaline metals; RE = Y, rare earth metals) crystal family is shown in Fig. 3 [33][34][35][36][37]39]. It should be noted that all compounds besides K3TbB6O12 have space group R32 and similar cell parameters.…”

“…It is worth noting that K3REB6O12 (RE = Y, Eu, Tb, Lu) and Rb3NdB6O12 are related to the same structure type, and they crystallize in the trigonal space group R32 and exhibit noticeable SHG signal. The UV cut-off edge of K3YB6O12 and Rb3NdB6O12 is reported to be at 195-197 nm [33,37]. These findings indicate that the M2O-RE2O3-B2O3 ternary systems are complex enough, and other NCS borate crystals transparent in UV range can be formed.…”

“…However, within M2O-RE2O3-B2O3 (M = alkali metal, RE = rare earth) systems, only several NCS crystalline media have been found up to date, namely Na3La2(BO3)3 [30], Rb3Y2B3O9 [31] Na3La9O3(BO3)8 [32], K3REB6O12 (RE = Y, Eu, Tb, Lu) [33][34][35][36] and Rb3NdB6O12 [37].

New noncentrosymmetric double borate Rb3EuB6O12 was synthesized by solid state reaction method, and their crystallographic parameters were obtained by Rietveld analysis. This borate crystallizes in the trigonal space group R32 with cell parameters of a = 13.4604(2) Å, c = 30.7981(5) Å, Z = 15. Their structure features a three-dimensional framework composed of [B5O10] 5groups that are bridged by Eu-O polyhedra. The existence of B5O10 group in the structure was confirmed by vibrational spectroscopy. Rb3EuB6O12 melts incongruently at 1101 K. The second harmonic generation effect of Rb3EuB6O12 is 16 times higher than that of α-quartz standard. In the luminescence spectrum, the domination of a single prominent narrow line from hypersensitive 5 D0-7 F2 manifold of Eu 3+ ions is observed, while 5 D0-7 F1 manifold and ultranarrow 5 D0-7 F0 line are of comparable peak intensity. These features are explained by specific local symmetry of Eu ion within the crystal structure of Rb3EuB6O12..

Borates have garnered a lot of attention in the realm of solid‐state chemistry due to their remarkable characteristics, in which the synthesis of borates with isolated [BO3] by adding rare‐earth elements is one of the main areas of structural design study. Five new mixed‐metal Y‐based rare‐earth borates, Ba2ZnY2(BO3)4, KNa2Y(BO3)2, Li2CsY4(BO3)5, LiRb2Y(BO3)2, and RbCaY(BO3)2, have been discovered using the high‐temperature solution approach. Isolated [BO3] clusters arranged in various configurations comprise their entire anionic framework, allowing for optical anisotropy tuning between 0.024 and 0.081 under 1064 nm. In this study, we characterize the relative placements of their [BO3] groups and examine how their structure affects their characteristics. The origin of their considerable optical anisotropy has been proven theoretically. This study unequivocally demonstrates that even a slight alteration to borates' anionic structure can result in a significant improvement in performance.

A potassium borate, K 5 B 19 O 31 , has been obtained via the hightemperature solid-state reaction. The single crystal for K 5 B 19 O 31 with dimensions up to 4 mm × 2 mm × 1 mm was grown by the top-seeded solution growth method. The crystal structure of K 5 B 19 O 31 shows a complex three-dimensional (3D) frame filled by three different types of K-based polyhedra. Optical properties and thermal behavior of K 5 B 19 O 31 were carried out. The transmission spectrum of K 5 B 19 O 31 shows that it possesses a UV optical cut-off edge lower than 180 nm. The birefringence was calculated to be about 0.05 at 1064 nm. Structure-property relationships were further illuminated via the first-principles calculation methods.
