Boron-oxygen polyanion in the crystal structure of tunellite
January 1, 1963
The crystal structure of tunellite, SrO·3B2O3·4H2O, with infinite sheets of composition n[B6O9(OH)2]2-, has cations and water molecules in the spaces within the sheets. Adjacent sheets are held together by hydrogen bonding through the water molecules. The boron-oxygen polyanions provide the first example in hydrated borate crystals of one oxygen linked to three borons.
