Syntheses, structures and optical properties of two B₃O₇ cluster-based borates

Abstract

Two new B3O7 cluster-based borates, [B6O9(OH)2]·H2dap (1, dap = 1,2-diaminopropane) and Li0.5Ca0.5[B3O5][BO(OH)2]0.5 (2), were solvothermally made by using different organic and inorganic templates, respectively. In 1, two different B3O7 clusters...

Co(II)-doped hybrid Zn(II) tetraborate complexes, [ZnxCo(1−x)(1,3-dap)B4O7] (1,3-dap = 1,3-diaminopropane): BET analysis and N2/H2O/D2O adsorption studies

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Recent research has also focused on the structures and properties of novel hybrid (inorganic/organic) oxidoborates synthesized using organic templates. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] There is extensive and well-known research investigating porous materials such as silicates and MOFs. [16][17][18][19][20] Porous materials have been used to sieve molecules of specific size and have found applications in gas separation (VOCs), as desiccants (water adsorption), as catalysts in petrochemical refineries, and as ion-exchange (water softening) materials.…”

Two New Aluminoborates with 3D Porous-Layered Frameworks

“…In 1975, the NLO properties of KB 5 O 8 •4H 2 O [6] were studied by C F. Dewey et al for the first time, pointing out the new research direction for the structure and properties of borates. Subsequently, high-temperature solid-state reactions and the boric flux method became the main methods of synthesizing borates [7,8]. Until 2004, Yang's group applied the hydro(solvo)thermal method for the borate system and gradually introduced inorganic cations, organic amines, transition metal complexes, or chiral metal complexes as structure directing agents (SDAs) [9].…”

Host–Guest Symmetry and Charge Matching in Glycine-Templated Metal Sulfate–Oxalates Obtained by a Solvent-Free Method

“…According to the host–guest symmetry matching concept, we envisage that the judicious choice of organic templates is critical for the synthesis of noncentrosymmetric metal sulfate–oxalates . Natural amino acids are known to be versatile building blocks for the construction of NLO materials.…”
