Lithium potassium borate and lithium rubidium borate: new non-linear optical crystals
The title compounds, LiKB(4)O(7) and LiRbB(4)O(7), are newly developed non-linear optical crystals containing two kinds of anionic groups, namely (B(3)O(8))(7-) and (B(5)O(10))(5-). The (B(3)O(8))(7-) groups form infinite spiral chains parallel to the [100] direction, which are interconnected by sharing O atoms with (B(5)O(10))(5-) groups.
