Synthesis of New Isostructural Orthoborates NaBaR(BO3)2 with R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Lu

Six new rare-earth orthoborates NaBaR(BO3)2, with R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu were synthesized using a multiple-step solid-state reaction. These new orthoborates continue the previously described isostructural lines of three-cation orthoborates NaBaR(BO3)2, by R = Sc, Y, Yb. The structure of synthesi...

Description
Summary:Six new rare-earth orthoborates NaBaR(BO3)2, with R = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Lu were synthesized using a multiple-step solid-state reaction. These new orthoborates continue the previously described isostructural lines of three-cation orthoborates NaBaR(BO3)2, by R = Sc, Y, Yb. The structure of synthesized solid compounds is isotypic with the mineral eitelite, Na2Mg(CO3)2, crystallizing in the trigonal system with space group R3. All prepared borates are isostructural, as evidenced by the presence of the same vibration modes in Raman spectra and of the same diffraction peaks in X-ray patterns. The photoluminescence of NaBaTb(BO3)2 have been investigated in a detail.
