Redetermination of the borax structure from laboratory X-ray data at 145 K

The title compound, sodium tetraborate decahydrate (mineral name: borax), Na(2)[B(4)O(5)(OH)(4)]·8H(2)O, has been studied previously using X-ray [Morimoto (1956). Miner. J. 2, 1–18] and neutron [Levy & Lisensky (1978). Acta Cryst. B34, 3502–3510] diffraction data. The structure contains tetra­bo...

description The title compound, sodium tetraborate decahydrate (mineral name: borax), Na(2)[B(4)O(5)(OH)(4)]·8H(2)O, has been studied previously using X-ray [Morimoto (1956). Miner. J. 2, 1–18] and neutron [Levy & Lisensky (1978). Acta Cryst. B34, 3502–3510] diffraction data. The structure contains tetra­borate anions [B(4)O(5)(OH)(4)](2−) with twofold rotation symmetry, which form hydrogen-bonded chains, and [Na(H(2)O)(6)] octa­hedra that form zigzag chains [Na(H(2)O)(4/2)(H(2)O)(2/1)]. The O—H bond distances obtained from the present redetermination at 145 K are shorter than those in the neutron study by an average of 0.127 (19) Å.
