A new noncentrosymmetric vanadoborate: synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of K2SrVB5O12†
Abstract
A new noncentrosymmetric vanadoborate compound, K2SrVB5O12, is synthesized by the high temperature solution method. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 (no. 4) with lattice constants a = 6.618(3) Å, b = 8.378(4) Å, c = 9.974(5) Å, β = 99.789(6)°, Z = 2. The structure consists of vanadoborate anionic layers with K+ and Sr2+
