N2 - Temperature-dependent structural studies of the metastable phase gamma-Na2B4O7 (triclinic, P (1) over bar) have been performed by low temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction at -150, -120, -75, -50 and 27 degrees C and by high temperature X-ray powder diffraction in the range of 27 to 780 degrees C. gamma-Na2B4O7 melts at 720 +/- 10 degrees C. The thermal expansion of the crystal structure is sharply anisotropic. Between -150 degrees C and 600 degrees C the main coefficients of the thermal expansion tensor are alpha(11) = 14, alpha(22) = -1, alpha(33) = 9, alpha(V) = 22 x 10(-6) K-1. gamma-Na2B4O7 consists of a three-dimensional framework with two crystallographically independent pentaborate groups as fundamental building blocks that are connected via two tetrahedra. Upon heating from -150 up to 27 degrees C, the pentaborate groups are stable but the structure expands due to changing B-O-B angles. Owing to nearly parallel orientation of the pentaborate groups in the structure, a minimal expansion in the
