| Abstract/Notes | AbstractThe crystal structure, including hydrogen positions, of borcarite, Ca4Mg[B4O6(OH)6](CO3)2, monoclinic, a = 17.840(4), b = 8.380(2), c = 4.445(1) Å, β = 102.04(3)°, V = 649.9(3) Å3, space group C2/m, has been refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to R = 2.5% and wR = 3.0% for 1020 unique observed [|F| ≥ 5σ(F)] reflections collected using Mo-Kα X-radiation. The H positions were located on difference-Fourier maps and were refined using the ‘soft’ constraint that O-H distances are ∼ 0.96 Å. The 4:4T FBB (fundamental building block) of the borcarite structure contains four Bϕ4 tetrahedra (ϕ = unspecified ligand) which share corners to form a four-membered polyhedral ring. Borcarite is the only mineral known to contain this FBB. The FBBs do not polymerize, but each shares three anions with an Mgϕ6 octahedron on either side, forming rods of composition [MgB4O6(OH)6]4- along the c-axis. The rigidity of these rods is enhanced by hydrogen bonding, and individual rods are connected through Caϕ8 polyhedra, Cϕ3 triangles and hydrogen bonds. |
