Abstract
The method of synthesis of nanoscaled sodium dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate Na2[B12H12] is presented. The desired product has been prepared by heating to 200°C the composite formed by the introduction of the triethylammonium salt [Et3NH]2[B12H12] into the silicate matrix of sodium liquid glass. The morphology and phase composition of the synthesized sample have been studied by SEM and X-ray diffraction methods in comparison with regular Na2[B12H12] salt. According to the obtained data, the sample under study is an amorphous composite, on the surface of which nanoscale crystals of Na2[B12H12] are formed.

Notes
X-ray powder diffraction was performed on a Bruker D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer at the Shared Facility Center of the Kurnakov Institute (CuKα-radiation) in low-background cells with a substrate of an oriented silicon single crystal in the 2θ angle ranging from 5° to 80° with a step of 0.01125°. To obtain X-ray powder diffraction patterns, samples I and II were triturated in an agate mortar before tests.
SEM studies were performed on a SCAN-S2 device with an accelerating voltage of 20 kV and a focal length of 11 mm. The survey was carried out in the secondary electron mode.
