An unprecedented hydride borate
In search of new mixed-anionic hydrides, which are currently of great interest, we prepared an unprecedented strontium borate hydride compound. While the combination of borate and borohydride has been recently reported, the combination of borate and H- has, to the best of our knowledge, never been reported before. Our preliminary results, including laboratory X-ray diffraction, solid state MAS NMR, vibrational spectroscopy and calculation suggests the sole presence of hydride next to borate. However, due to low scattering power of hydride for X-rays, and to gain detailed structural information on position and occupation number, neutron diffraction studies are necessary. Therefore, we apply for beam time to record a room temperature powder pattern of Sr5(BO3)3D at the high-resolution neutron powder diffractometer D2B. In order to avoid problems with the high neutron absorption cross section of natural boron (10B), we have prepared samples with isotopically pure 11B.
