Two new polyborates, BaBe2B2O6 and SrBe2B2O6, in a three-dimensional (Be2B2O6)∞ network featuring KBBF-type two-dimensional planes are synthesized. Compared with KBBF, both compounds possess comparable optical birefringence and deep-ultraviolet (deep-UV) cutoff edges and exhibit better bulk growth habits owing to their three-dimensional networks, which make them applicable deep-UV optical materials.
