Na2[BeB2O5]

W. Li and N. Ye

Abstract: Single crystals of disodium beryllodiborate have been obtained by spontaneous nucleation from a high-temperature melt. Na2[BeB2O5] adopts a new structure type and contains [BeB2O7]6- rings as building units that are made up from one BeO4 tetrahedron and two BO3 triangles. These rings are further condensed and form {[BeB2O5]2-}[infinity] two-dimensional layers extending parallel to the ab plane with the Na+ cations in a [6 + 1] coordination located between the layers. All atoms except Be and an O atom (both with site symmetry .2) are in general positions.
