Single crystals of LiCdY5(BO3)6were successfully grown from a Li2O–B2O3flux, and its lanthanide homotypic compounds, LiCdRE5(BO3)6(RE = Sm–Lu), have been prepared by solid-state reaction. They crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space groupP6522 with cell parameters in the ranges ofa= 7.0989(2)–6.9337(1) Å andc= 25.9375(1)–24.8960(6) Å. As a representative example, LiCdY5(BO3)6features a triangular lattice in theabplane composed of three distinct crystallographic Y sites. The triangular lattices spaced with the same distance ofcare further stacked to build three-dimensional frameworks by reinforcement of the isolated planar BO3groups and distorted LiO4tetrahedra. Magnetic measurements show that Eu and Sm compounds exhibit typical Van Vleck-type paramagnetism and other rare-earth borates show weak antiferromagnetic behavior. In addition, UV–vis–near-IR diffuse-reflectance and photoluminescence spectra were performed to understand the transition energy levels of active rare-earth ions and their relationships to magnetism.
