Two fluorine−beryllium borates, BaMBe2(BO3)2F2 (M = Mg, Ca), have been rationally designed to overcome the structural instability problems of Sr2Be2B2O7 (SBBO). The crystal structures of both materials exhibit flexible two-dimensional [Be3B3O6F3]∞ single layers, which are derived from the [Be6B6O15]∞ double layers of SBBO. By introducing the relatively larger Ba atoms into the spaces of [Be3B3O6F3]∞ single layers, we successfully broke the space-limited double layers of SBBO and resolved its structural instability problems.
