title: New inorganic helical chain: synthesis, structure, characterization, and interconversion of BaGa2O2(OH)4.
abstract: A new pseudo-two-dimensional compound, BaGa(2)O(2)(OH)(4), containing pure inorganic helical chains has been synthesized under hydrothermal reaction conditions using Ba(OH)(2).8H(2)O, Ga(2)O(3), and H(2)O as reagents. Further characterizations as well as a reversible transformation reaction to BaGa(2)O(4) and H(2)O are discussed.
