Abstract
The proposed two-step preparation route for rare earth polyborates, i.e. de hydration of boric acid in the presence of rare earth oxide at low temperat ure followed by careful annealing at 700 degreesC, led to, for the gadolini um case, a new gadolinium pentaborate (GdB5O9) that can not be prepared by conventional high-temperature reaction.
