•Li6Rb5B11O22 and Li4Cs3B7O14 have been synthesized and characterized.•The enthalpies of solution of title two borates were measured.•The enthalpies of solution of LiCl·H2O(s) were measured.•ΔfHmo for title two borates were obtained by the thermochemical cycles.
Two pure mixed alkali metal borates with Non-Linear Optical (NLO) properties, Li6Rb5B11O22 and Li4Cs3B7O14, have been synthesized by a high-temperature solid state reaction, and characterized by XRD, FT-IR, DTA-TG techniques and chemical analysis. The molar enthalpies of solution of Li6Rb5B11O22 and Li4Cs3B7O14 in 1 mol · dm−3 HCl (aq), and of LiCl·H2O(s) in (1 mol · dm−3 HCl + H3BO3 + RbCl/CsCl) (aq) have been determined by microcalorimeter at T = 298.15 K, respectively. From these data and with the incorporation of the previously determined enthalpy of solution of H3BO3(s) in 1 mol · dm−3 HCl (aq), together with the use of the standard molar enthalpies of formation for LiCl·H2O(s), RbCl(s)/CsCl(s), H3BO3(s), HCl(aq) and H2O(l), the standard molar enthalpies of formation of −(11173.1 ± 9.5) kJ · mol−1 for Li6Rb5B11O22 and −(7145.1 ± 5.9) kJ · mol−1 for Li4Cs3B7O14 were obtained on the basis of the appropriate thermochemical cycles.
