Title: Hydrothermal synthesis and structure of Li4B4Si8O24
Abstract: The new composition Li4B4Si8O24 has been synthesized as single crystals employing a hydrothermal recrystallization technique and studied using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with Z=2 and cell parameters a=5.0448(2), b=13.1688(4), c=13.3933(2) Å, β=90.069(2)°. The structure is composed of (201) layers of corner connected B- and Si-centered tetrahedra forming four-, five- and six-membered rings. These units are then joined via Si–O–Si linkages to form a unique 3-D framework structure. The lithium atoms can be considered as forming part of a lithoborosilicate framework or to be well ordered within the pores formed by the borosilicate structure.
