Chromium borate
Description
Chromium borate refers to chromium(III) borate with the formula CrBO₃ or related forms like BCrO₃. It appears as a crystalline solid with a calcite-type trigonal structure, where boron forms sp² hybridized BO₃ trigonal planar units linked to octahedral Cr³⁺ centers.
The compound has a molecular weight of approximately 110.81 g/mol and exhibits properties studied for optical applications, including thin films with specific vibrational modes in IR spectroscopy around 530 cm⁻¹ (Cr-O) and 1150 cm⁻¹ (B-O). It is prepared via methods like solid-state reactions and shows potential in luminescent materials and antiferromagnetic behavior.
Used in ceramics, optical coatings, and as a precursor in borate glass systems doped with chromium oxide, it requires handling precautions due to chromium toxicity.
