Hydroxyl-induced structural reconstruction: two new potassium hepta-borates with deep-UV transparency and enhanced birefringence
Two new potassium hepta-borates deep-UV birefringent crystals, KB 7 O 9 (OH) 4 and KB 7 O 10 (OH) 2 , exhibit deep-UV transparency and enhanced birefringence due to structural reconstruction ([B 7 O 10 (OH) 4 ] to [B 7 O 12 (OH) 2 ]) of functional basic units.
