Abstract

A noncentrosymmetric mixed alkali metal borate-bicarbonate, NaRb₃B₆O₉(OH)₃(HCO₃), was synthesized and characterized. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ (No. 4) with a = 8.988(3) Å, b = 8.889(2) Å, c = 10.068(4) Å, and β = 114.6(4)°. The structure features a combination of chains of boron-oxygen [B₆O₉ (OH)₃]^3- groups and isolated HCO₃ ^- groups, with charge compensation provided by Rb⁺ and Na⁺ cations. It exhibits a second harmonic generation response of about 0.5 × KDP. The UV-vis-NIR absorption spectrum indicated a transparency of about 40% at 200 nm. The IR spectrum confirms the coordination environments of anionic groups, and thermogravimetric measurements indicate the material is thermally stable up to approximately 320 °C. Additionally, first-principles calculations were performed in order to gain insight into the role of boron-oxygen and HCO₃ ^- groups with respect to the band structure and NLO properties.
