[M(1,2-dap) 3 ][B 10 O 13 (OH) 6 ] (M = Co, Ni): Two New Borates Containing [B 10 O 13 (OH) 6 ] 2− Cluster Units
Abstract
Two novel isomorphic decaborates, [M(1,2-dap)3][B10O13(OH)6] (M = Co (1) and Ni (2); dap = 1,2-diaminopropane), with transition metal complexes [M(1,2-dap)3] as templates have been synthesized successfully under mild hydrothermal conditions and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, IR spectrum, single crystal X-ray diffraction and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The noodle-like orange/purple crystals crystallize in triclinic space group P-1. Their structure contain the isolated [B10O13(OH)6]2− clusters and further link together to produce a 3-D supramolecular framework with large channels by H-bonding interactions. The UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectrum showed a wide-band-gap of 1 and 2. Notice that compounds 1 and 2 are not only the first isolated decaborate cluster and fill the gap left by the absence of isolated structures in the borate family but also could be considered as the structural building units to construct extended oxoboron cluster frameworks.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
