Abstract
A new mixed rare-earth metal borate, Cd3Sc(BO3)3 was synthesized via a high-temperature solution method. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that it crystallizes in the trigonal space group R (No. 148) with lattice parameters a = 11.5902(19) Å, c = 9.4230(14) Å, and Z = 6. The structure exhibits 1D ∞[ScB6O18] chains comprised of Sc-centered O octahedra and BO3 triangles, and Cd atoms located in the space to balance charge. The synthesis, single crystal growth, thermal behavior, IR, Raman and UV–vis-NIR diffuse reflectance spectrums, luminescent property of the title compound have been characterized and analyzed. First-principles simulations for Cd3Sc(BO3)3 have been employed to rationalize the correlations between the molecular structure and optical properties.
期刊介绍:
Polyhedron publishes original, fundamental, experimental and theoretical work of the highest quality in all the major areas of inorganic chemistry. This includes synthetic chemistry, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and solid-state and materials chemistry.
Papers should be significant pieces of work, and all new compounds must be appropriately characterized. The inclusion of single-crystal X-ray structural data is strongly encouraged, but papers reporting only the X-ray structure determination of a single compound will usually not be considered. Papers on solid-state or materials chemistry will be expected to have a significant molecular chemistry component (such as the synthesis and characterization of the molecular precursors and/or a systematic study of the use of different precursors or reaction conditions) or demonstrate a cutting-edge application (for example inorganic materials for energy applications). Papers dealing only with stability constants are not considered.
