REV3(BO3)4 (RE = La‒Nd): A Series of Rare Earth Vanadoborates Exhibit Large Birefringence Induced by Distorted VⅢO6 Group

Chem. Commun., 2026, Accepted Manuscript DOI: 10.1039/D6CC00362A, Communication Yu-Long Wei, Wen-Dong Yao, Yi-Lei Lv, Liang Ma, Ru-Ling Tang New Rare-earth (RE) vanadoborates REV3(BO3)4 were synthesized via hightemperature solidstate methods. They crystallize in a monoclinic system featuring a unique {[V3O14] 19-} ∞ chain. Magnetic studies reveal antiferromagnetic behavior, while...
