Abstract

A nonmetal pentaborate [C2H10N2][B5O8(OH)] (I) was synthesized by a solvothermal method at 150 degrees C and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction. The structure of I was determined by a single-crystal technique. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system with space group Cc, a = 6.7085 (13) angstrom, b = 11.437(2) angstrom, c = 12.530(3) angstrom, and beta = 95.41(3)degrees. Powder second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurements with Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) radiation show that [C2H10N2][B5O8(OH)] has a SHG efficiency approximately 1.2 times of that of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP).
