Abstract

Under solvothermal conditions, a chair open-framework borate, Na₂B₉O₁₅(H₂O)(H₃O) (1), has been synthesized. Compound 1 shows regular pores of zeolites as well as nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of borates. The large 13-ring channels of the boron oxide framework are constructed from different cluster units of B₃O₇ and B₆O₁₃ with three-ring units. The second harmonic generation (SHG) signal intensity of 1 is similar to that of KH₂PO₄ (KDP) and gradually increased with larger particle size. Compound 1 is a potential UV NLO material for its short wavelength absorption edge.
