Abstract

Pale-yellow single crystals of the new borate tellurate(VI) Bi TeBO were obtained by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of Bi O , B O , and Te(OH) at 780?°C. The non-centrosymmetric crystal structure (P6 , Z=2, a=8.7454(16), c=5.8911(11)?Å, 738?refl., 43?param, R1=0.037, wR2=0.093) contains isolated trigonal-planar BO units and nearly undistorted TeO octahedra. The Bi cations are located in between in octahedral voids. The BiO octahedra are significantly distorted to a [3+3] pattern (2.25/2.50?Å) due to the ns configuration. According to the structural features, the formula can be written as Bi (TeO )(BO ). Alternatively, the structure can also be described as hcp of oxygen with Te and Bi in octahedral voids and B in trigonal- planar voids. The vibrational spectra show the typical features of BO and TeO units with a significant B/ B isotopic splitting of the IR-active B-O valence mode (1248 and 1282?cm ). The UV/Vis spectrum shows an optical band edge with an onset around 480?nm (2.6?eV). MAS-NMR spectra of B show an anisotropic signal with a quadrupole coupling constant of C =2.55?MHz. and a very small deviation from rotational symmetry (?=0.2). The isotropic chemical shift is 20.1?ppm. The second harmonic generation (SHG) test was positive with an activity comparable to potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). Bi TeBO decomposes in air at 825?°C to Bi TeO .

Bismuth

See more Bismuth products. Bismuth (atomic symbol: Bi, atomic number: 83) is a Block P, Group 15, Period 6 element with an atomic radius of 208.98040. The number of electrons in each of Bismuth's shells is 2, 8, 18, 32, 18, 5 and its electron configuration is [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s2 6p3. Bismuth Bohr ModelThe bismuth atom has a radius of 156 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 207 pm. In its elemental form, bismuth is a silvery white brittle metal. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of all metals and, with the exception of mercury, its thermal conductivity is lower than any other metal. Elemental BismuthBismuth has a high electrical resistance, and has the highest Hall Effect of any metal (i.e., greatest increase in electrical resistance when placed in a magnetic field). Bismuth is found in bismuthinite and bismite. It is also produced as a byproduct of lead, copper, tin, molybdenum and tungsten extraction. Bismuth was first discovered by Early Man. The name Bismuth originates from the German word 'wissmuth,' meaning white mass.

Boron

The number of electrons in each of boron's shells is 2, 3 and its electron configuration is [He] 2s2 2p1. The boron atom has a radius of 90 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 192 pm. Boron was discovered by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard in 1808 and was first isolated by Humphry Davy later that year. Boron is classified as a metalloid is not found naturally on earth. Elemental BoronAlong with carbon and nitrogen, boron is one of the few elements in the periodic table known to form stable compounds featuring triple bonds. Boron has an energy band gap of 1.50 to 1.56 eV, which is higher than that of either silicon or germanium. The name Boron originates from a combination of carbon and the Arabic word buraqu meaning borax.

Tellurium

Tellurium Bohr ModelThe number of electrons in each of tellurium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 18, 6 and its electron configuration is [Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4. Tellurium was discovered by Franz Muller von Reichenstein in 1782 and first isolated by Martin Heinrich Klaproth in 1798. In its elemental form, tellurium has a silvery lustrous gray appearance. The tellurium atom has a radius of 140 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 206 pm. Elemental TelluriumTellurium is most commonly sourced from the anode sludges produced as a byproduct of copper refining. The name Tellurium originates from the Greek word Tellus, meaning Earth.
