PbO(BO)(NO): A Lead Borate-Nitrate Containing an Anion-Centered [OPb] Chain with Large Optical Anisotropy.

In the field of structural chemistry, crystals containing the [OM] tetrahedra (M = metal cation) structure have been well documented. However, compounds containing both [OPb] tetrahedra and π-conjugated groups are less reported due to their structural complexity. In this work, a new lead borate-nitrate, PbO(BO)(NO), has been synthesized by a high temperature melt method.

Two lead borate-nitrates PbO(BO)(NO) and PbO(BO)(NO)F were obtained by the high-temperature flux method. Interestingly, their crystal structure consists of anion-centered [OPb] tetrahedra and π-conjugated BO and NO units. The first principles calculations indicate that both compounds show large birefringence.

Averievite-type compounds with the general formula ()[CuO(O)], where = alkali metal, = halogen and = P, V, have been synthesized by crystallization from gases and structurally characterized for six different compositions: ( = Cs; = Cl; = P), ( = Cs; = Cl; = V), ( = Rb; = Cl; = P), ( = K; = Br; = P), ( = K; = Cl; = P) and ( = Cu; = Cl; = V). The crystal structures of the compounds are based upon the same structural unit, the layer consisting of a kagome lattice of Cu ions and are composed from corner-sharing (OCu) anion-centered tetrahedra. Each tetrahedron shares common corners with three neighboring tetrahedra, forming hexagonal rings, linked into the two-dimensional [OCu] sheets parallel to (001).

(Cs X)CuO(PO) ( X = Cl, Br, I): A Family of Cu S = / Compounds with Capped-Kagomé Networks Composed of OCu Units.

Three new salt inclusion compounds (Cs X)CuO(PO) ( X = Cl, Br, I), phosphate analogues of the kagomé mineral averievite, are reported. Their crystal structures are composed of trigonal networks of corner-sharing OCu anion-centered tetrahedra, forming capped-kagomé planes, which can also be regarded as two-dimensional slices along the [111] direction of a pyrochlore lattice. Magnetization and heat capacity measurements reveal strong geometric frustration of this network and complex magnetic behavior.

Luminescence properties of the Bi(M,M') PO (M=Mg, Zn, Cd) series have been rationalized as a function of the M element using optical spectroscopy, as well as empirical and first principles calculations. The latter yielded indirect band gaps for all compounds with energies between 2.64 and 3.
