Abstract:
A new pentaborate, KNa2CdB5O10, has been synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal XRD method with the following crystal data: KNa2CdB5O10, Pccn, a = 18.4555(13), b = 8.3040(10), c = 12.8772(9) angstrom, V= 1973.5(3) angstrom(3), Z= 8, M-r = 411.53, D-c = 2.770 g/cm(3), mu = 2.765 mm(-1), F(000) = 1552, R = 0.0648 and wR = 0.1756 for 1684 observed reflections and 175 variables. It contains the double ring [B5O10](5-) groups composed of one BO4 tetrahedron and four BO3 triangles that are bridged by tetrahedral Cd2+ centers via common O atoms to form 2D [CdB5O10](n)(3n-) layers, with A(+) (A = K/Na, Na) cations situated between and within the layers. IR spectrum confirms the existence of BO3 and BO4 groups. UV-VIS diffuse reflectance spectrum shows a band gap of about 3.44 eV and solid-state fluorescence spectrum exhibits a broad emission band at around 386 nm. Band structure calculations indicate that KNa2CdB5O10 is an indirect band-gap insulator, with the calculated energy gap (3.68 eV) close to the experimental one.
