Li<sub>2</sub>NaB<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>12</sub>: A Deep-UV Transparent Borosulfate with Moderate Birefringence Derived from the [B<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>12</sub>]<sub>∞</sub> Infinite Chain Designed by the High Boron-to-Sulfur Ratio
The first mixed alkali metal borosulfate compound, Li<sub>2</sub>NaB<sub>3</sub>S<sub>2</sub>O<sub>12</sub> (LNBSO), which contains [BO<sub>3</sub>] groups, was designed and synthesized by using a high boron-to-sulfur ratio strategy through the high temperature solution method. LNBSO exhibits a birefringence of [email protected] nm in experiments, which was mainly contributed by the [BO<sub>3</sub>] groups, and possesses a short absorption edge at 184 nm, and the space group of LNBSO is <i>P</i>2<sub>1</sub>/<i>c</i>. This newly synthesized borosulfate compound holds potential as a promising birefringent material within the deep-ultraviolet wavelength range. Moreover, the investigation on the relationship among the ratio of boron to sulfur, the dimensionality of the anionic framework, and the formation of [BO<sub>3</sub>] groups has been conducted on available borosulfate, providing insights for the synthesis of borosulfate with desirable performances.
