Abstract

New rare-earth (RE) vanadoborates REV₃(BO₃)₄ were synthesized via high-temperature solid-state methods. They crystallize in a monoclinic system featuring a unique {[V₃O₁₄]¹⁹⁻}_∞ chain. Magnetic studies reveal antiferromagnetic behavior, while LaV₃(BO₃)₄ exhibits a record birefringence of 0.180@546 nm among RE borates. This work offers a new example for exploring multifunctional RE borate materials.
