A new mixed alkali-metal borate, poly[[sodium rubidium [hydroxido­octa-μ-oxido­penta­borate] monohydrate], NaRbB5O8(OH)·H2O, has been synthesized via a surfactant-thermal method using H3BO3, Rb2CO3, Na2SiO3·9H2O, ethanedi­amine and poly(ethyl­ene glycol)-400 as starting materials. It features a layered boron-oxide framework constructed from penta­borate [B5O10(OH)]6− building units. Adjacent single layers are inter­connected to form double layers through hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Na+, Rb+ cations and H2O mol­ecules are located in the voids of the framework.

1. Chemical context

Crystalline metal borates are widely recognized as promising non-linear optical materials in the ultraviolet region (Zhang et al., 2026View full citation; Li et al., 2023aView full citation,bView full citation,cView full citation; Lu et al., 2024View full citation; Tian et al., 2013View full citation; Chen et al., 2024aView full citation, 2025View full citation; Wang et al., 2017View full citation, 2025View full citation; Wei et al., 2016View full citation; Yu et al., 2017View full citation; Zhao et al., 2025View full citation, 2026View full citation; Zou et al., 2026aView full citation). Boron can adopt either three- or four-coordinate geometries with oxygen atoms. Corner-sharing oxygen linkages between planar BO3 triangles and tetra­hedral BO4 units enable the construction of various polyborate anions (Mutailipu et al., 2021View full citation), including [B3O3(OH)4], [B4O5(OH)4]2−, [B7O12(OH)14]7−, and [B12O18(OH)6]6− (Lin et al., 2011View full citation; Huang et al., 2019View full citation; Chen et al., 2024cView full citation). Penta­borate units typically serve as fundamental building blocks. Various arrangements of BO3 triangles, BO4 tetra­hedra, as well as [B5On] (n= 10–12, 14) and hy­droxy­lated [B5On(OH)m] units, have been observed (Wei et al., 2014View full citation; Ding et al., 2018View full citation). These penta­borate anions are further inter­connected to construct chains, layers, and three-dimensional frameworks with rich structural diversity (Li et al., 2024View full citation; Shi et al., 2019View full citation; Zhao et al., 2022View full citation, 2024View full citation; Chen et al., 2024bView full citation). In such crystal structures, alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations reside in inter­stitial voids to balance the overall charge of the polyborate anionic frameworks.

[Scheme 1]

Borosilicates are new types of non-linear optical materials that combine different anionic groups (Ou et al., 2025View full citation). Our initial synthetic strategy was aimed at the exploration of new borosilicate crystals. However, the targeted borosilicate phase was not obtained under the applied synthetic conditions, and a pure borate compound was ultimately isolated instead. Herein, we report the synthesis and single-crystal structural characterization of a new mixed alkali-metal penta­borate, NaRbB5O8(OH)·H2O, (I)[link].

2. Structural commentary

The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group PMathematical equation. The asymmetric unit of (I)[link] consists of five boron atoms, ten oxygen atoms, three hydrogen atoms, one Na+ cation and one Rb+ cation. As shown in Fig. 1[link], the fundamental building block of (I)[link] is the [B5O10(OH)]6− unit, which is composed of two [BO3] triangles, two [BO4] tetra­hedra and one [BO2(OH)] group. The B—O bond lengths fall in the range 1.344 (3)–1.506 (3) Å (Table 1[link]). Each [B5O10(OH)]6− unit links to four adjacent equivalents, generating a two-dimensional layered structure containing nine-membered ring windows in the ab plane (Fig. 2[link]).

Adjacent single layers are connected into double layers through O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the hydroxyl group (O1) and oxygen atom (O2) of the [B5O10(OH)]6− units. Hydrogen-bonding inter­actions also exist between the water mol­ecule (O10) and hydroxyl group (O1) in the anionic framework. The corresponding O⋯O hydrogen-bond distances range from 2.869 (3) to 2.916 (3) Å (Table 2[link]). Its hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are highly analogous to those of the isotypic protonated borate NaKB5O8(OH)·H2O (Li et al., 2024View full citation). These hydrogen-bonded double layers further stack parallel to one another along the c axis. Na+ ions and water mol­ecules reside in the inter­layer voids within the double layers, whereas Rb+ ions occupy the voids between adjacent double layers. The Na+ and Rb+ ions are six- and nine-coordinated, respectively, with Na—O distances of 2.320 (2)–2.773 (3) Å and Rb—O distances of 2.8044 (18)–3.1981 (19) Å (Table 1[link]). These cations occupy the voids of the framework to maintain overall charge balance (Fig. 3[link]).

3. Database survey

An online search of the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD, version 5.6.0, updated January 2026, Zagorac et al., 2019View full citation) for alkali-metal compounds incorporating the [B5O10(OH)]6− moiety returned seven hits: NaKB5O8(OH)·H2O (triclinic, PMathematical equation space group; Li et al., 2024View full citation), LiRbB5O8(OH)·H2O (monoclinic, P21/n space group; Shi et al., 2019View full citation), K2B5O8(OH)·2H2O (ortho­rhom­bic, Pna21 space group; Shi et al., 2019View full citation), Rb2B5O8(OH) (ortho­rhom­bic, Pca21 space group; Qiu et al., 2021View full citation), LiCsB5O8(OH)·H2O (monoclinic, P21/c space group; Chen et al., 2017View full citation), LiKB5O8(OH)·1.5H2O (ortho­rhom­bic, C2221 space group; Li et al., 2019View full citation), and Na2B5O8(OH)·2H2O (ortho­rhom­bic, Pna21 space group; Wang et al., 2009View full citation). In addition, we have recently reported another penta­borate, NaCsB5O8(OH)·H2O (ortho­rhom­bic, Pbca space group; Zou et al., 2026bView full citation). Compound (I)[link] is isostructural with NaKB5O8(OH)·H2O, and they share the same space group and similar cell parameters. The other seven reported compounds share similar layered structural features and the common [B5O10(OH)]6− building unit. Differences in alkali metal cations and space groups lead to the structural uniqueness of compound (I)[link].

4. Synthesis and crystallization

A mixture of H3BO3 (0.6183 g, 10 mmol), Rb2CO3 (0.2308 g, 1 mmol), Na2SiO3·9H2O (0.2842 g, 1 mmol), ethanedi­amine (1 ml), and poly(ethyl­ene glycol)-400 (4 ml) was sealed in a 30 ml Teflon-lined bomb at 453 K for 6 days and then cooled to room temperature over 6 hours. Colorless crystals of (I)[link] were obtained by filtration, washed with distilled water, and dried in air.

5. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3[link]. H atoms bonded to O atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model [Ohydrox­yl—H = 0.82 Å and Owater—H = 0.84 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(O)].

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
