Expanding the chemistry of borates with functional [BO₂]^- anions.

ABSTRACT: More than 3900 crystalline borates, including borate minerals and synthetic inorganic borates, in addition to a wealth of industrially-important boron-containing glasses, have been discovered and characterized. Of these compounds, 99.9 % contain only the traditional triangular BO₃ and tetrahedral BO₄ units, which polymerize into superstructural motifs. Herein, a mixed metal K₅Ba₂(B₁₀O₁₇)₂(BO₂) with linear BO₂ structural units was obtained, pushing the boundaries of structural diversity and providing a direct strategy toward the maximum thresholds of birefringence for optical materials design. ¹¹B solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a ubiquitous tool in the study of glas
