Flux synthesis of new organo-borate hybrids

Abstract

Na 2 CO 3 and oxydiacetic acid or thiodiacetic acid, respectively. Complex 1 is a one-dimensional polymer with a planar bridging oxydiacetate ligand in a meridional disposition; whereas 2 is a monomer containing the typical tridentate thiodiacetate ligand with a facial configuration. Both are, as far as we know, the first structural determinations of Mg-oda and Mg-tda complexes [1].
