The new zinc borate Zn_6.1B₆O₁₉H_7.8 was synthesized via a high-pressure/high-temperature multianvil approach at 10 GPa and 1573 K. The structure of the non-centrosymmetric compound was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements, exhibiting (BO₄), (ZnO₅), and (ZnO₆) units including a distinct disorder on a part of the zinc and boron sites. The IR spectroscopic data on the bulk material confirm the presence of hydroxyl groups in this new borate.

新型硼酸锌Zn6.1B6O19H7.8的合成及晶体结构

采用高压高温多砧方法在 10 GPa 和 1573 K 下合成了新型硼酸锌 Zn _6.1 B ₆ O ₁₉ H _7.8 。通过单晶 X 射线衍射研究了非中心对称化合物的结构测量结果显示，(BO ₄ )、(ZnO ₅ )和(ZnO ₆ )单元包括在锌和硼位点的一部分上的明显无序。大块材料的红外光谱数据证实了这种新型硼酸盐中存在羟基。
