  • Vibrational Spectroscopy of the Borate Mineral Priceite—Implications for the Molecular Structure
    Spectroscopy Letters, 2014
    Co-Authors: Ray L. Frost, Andrés López, Ricardo Scholz, Yunfei Xi
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Priceite is a calcium borate mineral and occurs as white Crystals in the monoclinic Pyramidal Crystal system. We have used a combination of Raman spectroscopy with complimentary infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy with Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) to study the mineral priceite. Chemical analysis shows a pure phase consisting of B and Ca only. Raman bands at 956, 974, 991, and 1019 cm−1 are assigned to the BO stretching vibration of the B10O19 units. Raman bands at 1071, 1100, 1127, 1169, and 1211 cm−1 are attributed to the BOH in-plane bending modes. The intense infrared band at 805 cm−1 is assigned to the trigonal borate stretching modes. The Raman band at 674 cm−1 together with bands at 689, 697, 736, and 602 cm−1 are assigned to the trigonal and tetrahedral borate bending modes. Raman spectroscopy in the hydroxyl stretching region shows a series of bands with intense Raman band at 3555 cm−1 with a distinct shoulder at 3568 cm−1. Other bands in this spectral reg...

  • Vibrational spectroscopy of the borate mineral tunellite SrB6O9(OH)2·3(H2O) : implications for the molecular structure
    Science & Engineering Faculty, 2014
    Co-Authors: Ray L. Frost, Andrés López, Ricardo Scholz, Yunfei Xi
    Abstract:

    Tunellite is a strontium borate mineral with formula: SrB6O9(OH)2∙3(H2O) and occurs as colorless Crystals in the monoclinic Pyramidal Crystal system. An intense Raman band at 994 cm-1 was assigned to the BO stretching vibration of the B2O3 units. Raman bands at 1043, 1063, 1082 and 1113 cm-1 are attributed to the in-plane bending vibrations of trigonal boron. Sharp Raman bands observed at 464, 480, 523, 568 and 639 cm-1 are simply defined as trigonal and tetrahedral borate bending modes. The Raman spectrum clearly shows intense Raman bands at 3567 and 3614 cm-1, attributed to OH units. The molecular structure of a natural tunellite has been assessed by using vibrational spectroscopy.

    Abstract:

    Abstract Chambersite is a manganese borate mineral with formula: MnB 7 O 13 Cl and occurs as colorless Crystals in the monoclinic Pyramidal Crystal system. Raman bands at 902, 920, 942 and 963 cm −1 are assigned to the BO stretching vibration of the B 7 O 13 units. Raman bands at 1027, 1045, 1056, 1075 and 1091 cm −1 are attributed to the BCl in-plane bending modes. The intense infrared band at 866 cm −1 is assigned to the trigonal borate stretching modes.

  • Assessment of the molecular structure of the borate mineral boracite Mg3B7O13Cl using vibrational spectroscopy.
    Spectrochimica Acta Part A: Molecular and Biomolecular Spectroscopy, 2012
    Co-Authors: Ray L. Frost, Yunfei Xi, Ricardo Scholz
    Abstract:

    Boracite is a magnesium borate mineral with formula: Mg3B7O13Cl and occurs as blue green, colorless, gray, yellow to white Crystals in the orthorhombic – Pyramidal Crystal system. An intense Raman band at 1009 cm−1 was assigned to the BO stretching vibration of the B7O13 units. Raman bands at 1121, 1136, 1143 cm−1 are attributed to the in-plane bending vibrations of trigonal boron. Four sharp Raman bands observed at 415, 494, 621 and 671 cm−1 are simply defined as trigonal and tetrahedral borate bending modes. The Raman spectrum clearly shows intense Raman bands at 3405 and 3494 cm−1, thus indicating that some Cl anions have been replaced with OH units. The molecular structure of a natural boracite has been assessed by using vibrational spectroscopy.
