Single crystals of trisodium scandium bis(orthoborate), Na3Sc(BO3)2, have been obtained by spontaneous crystallization from an Na2O–Sc2O3–B2O3 melt. The features a three-dimensional framework composed of planar [BO3]3− groups and distorted ScO6 octahedra with Na atoms in the cavities. The Sc atom occupies a special position (Wyckoff position 2b, -1) and of the two Na atoms, one occupies a special position (Wyckoff position 2c, -1).

The composition of the mixture for crystal growth was 10:1:10 of Na2CO3 (analytically pure), Sc2O3 (analytically pure), and B2O3 (analytically pure). This mixture was heated in a platinum crucible to 1373 K, held at this temperature for several hours, and then the transparent melt was cooled slowly from 1373 K to 1223 K at 3 K h-1. Upon further cooling to room temperature, block shaped colorless crystals were obtained.
The structure was solved with the
program SHELXS97 and refined with the least-squares program SHELXL97 of the SHELXTL.PC suite of programs. The final included anisotropic displacement parameters and a correction. The program STRUCTURE TIDY (Gelato & Parthé, 1987) was then employed to standardize the atomic coordinates.Data collection: CrystalClear (Rigaku, 2008); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

In efforts to identify new borates as optical materials or catalysts, investigations have been carried out in the Na2O—Sc2O3—B2O3 system, in which, two phases are already known, viz. Na3Sc2(BO3)3 (Zhang et al., 2006) and NaScB2O5 (Becker & Held, 2001). Here, we report a new compound, Na3Sc(BO3)2.
The fundamental building units of the title compounds are triangular [BO3]3- groups and irregular ScO6 octahedra. Each [BO3]3- group connects to three ScO6 octahedra, and each ScO6 octahedron are connected to six [BO3]3- groups by corner sharing, thereby constructing a three-dimensional framework whose cavities are filled with Na+ cations. Sc occupies a special position (Wyckoff position 2b, site symmetry –1), of the two Na atoms, one occupies a special positions (Wyckoff position 2c, site symmetry –1). Na2 occupies a general position. The B—O bond lengths range from 1.3708 (17) to 1.3802 (19) Å, and the mean O—B—O bond angles are equal to 120 (12)° which indicates that the [BO3]3- groups are almost planar. The Sc3+ cation is six-coordinated by oxygen atoms to form a distorted ScO6 octahedron with Sc—O bond lengths ranging from 2.0765 (11) to 2.1285 (11) Å. The Na atoms appear in two crystallographically different environments. The Na1 and Na2 atoms are six- and eight-coordinated by oxygen atoms, respectively. The Na—O bond lengths range from 2.3448 (12) to 2.8515 (15) Å. These abovementioned values are normal in borates such as Na3Sc2(BO3)3 and NaScB2O5.
The structure of the title compound is closely related to Li3Sc(BO3)3 (Cai et al., 2011) which is crystallized in the same space group. The crystal structure of Li3Sc(BO3)3 could also be characterized as a three-dimensional framework constructed by planar [BO3]3- groups and irregular ScO6 octahedra. Both Na and Li atoms occupy two crystallographically independent sites, but Li atoms are four-coordinated by oxygen atoms due to their small ionic radii.
