New lead(ii) borates in the PbO/PbF2/H3BO3 ternary phase diagram: syntheses and structures of β-Pb6B10O21 and Pb4B8O16†
Abstract
Through systematic research on the PbO/PbF2/H3BO3 ternary phase diagram, two new lead(II) borates, β-Pb6B10O21 and Pb4B8O16, were synthesized by a high temperature solution method. The polymerization degree of the B–O network was analyzed with increasing B : Pb ratio.
