Abstract

Five halogen boracites, Mn₃B₇O₁₃Cl, Co₃B₇O₁₃Cl, Ni₃B₇O₁₃Cl, Cu₃B₇O₁₃Cl, Zn₃B₇O₁₃I, have been synthesized by reaction of transition metal halides and boric acid at low temperature in the flux of boric acid. X-ray powder diffraction and chemical analysis of the halogen content show that the products are indeed stoichiometric halogen boracites, indicating that the proposed synthesis procedure is a convenient and promising way to the halogen boracites.
