Ba2B5O8(OH)2(NO3)·3H2O: the design of an alkaline earth metal borate-nitrate optimized from a hydroxylic borate

The first alkaline earth borate-nitrate, namely Ba 2 B 5 O 8 (OH) 2 (NO 3 )·3H 2 O, has been synthesized, and is generated from Ba 2 B 5 O 8 (OH) 2 OH. This work is an essential reference to predict and synthesize new borate-nitrates.
