Abstract

A new acentric barium borate, Ba₂B₁₀O₁₆(OH)₂·(H₃BO₃)(H₂O) (1), was synthesized via a hydrothermal process. Compound 1 contains two different boron oxide units of [B₅O₁₀(OH)]^6- anions and H₃BO₃ molecules and features 9-ring channels along the c axis in a layered structure. This barium borate is a possible deep-ultraviolet nonlinear-optical crystal for its moderate second-harmonic-generation signal and wide transparency window below 190 nm.
