New Aspects of Borate Chemistry under High-Pressure
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
At the moment, over 1100 borate crystal structures are listed in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database ICSD. High-pressure investigations in this field are rare and were mainly performed from a geological point of view. Starting in 1999, systematic high-pressure / high-temperature experiments up to maximum pressures of 16 GPa have been carried out, using the multianvil technique to explore the synthetic possibilities in the field of borates under extreme conditions. This approach led to a variety of interesting new materials, which are unattainable via conventional solid state syntheses. The communication will give a short survey of the most important results in the last years.
