Abstract

Two novel borates [(CH3)3NH][B5O6(OH)4] (I) and Na2[H2TMED][B7O9(OH)5]2 (II) have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions, and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for I: monoclinic, P21/c, a = 9.3693(11) Å, b = 14.0375(17) Å, c = 10.0495(9) Å, β = 91.815(9)°, Z = 4. Crystal data for II: monoclinic, P21/c, a = 11.6329(2) Å, b = 11.9246(3) Å, c = 10.2528(2) Å, β = 100.178(2)°, Z = 4. Their crystal structures both have 3D supramolecular framework with large channels constructed by O–H···O hydrogen-bonding among the polyanions of [B5O6(OH)4]− or [B7O9(OH)5]2− clusters. The templating organic amines cations in I and II are both located in the channels of 3D supramolecular frameworks, respectively, and interact with the polyborate frameworks both electrostatically and via hydrogen bonds of N–H···O. Na2[H2TMED][B7O9(OH)5]2 is the first example of heptaborate co-templated by alkali metal and organic base, which is also rare in borates. The photoluminescence property of the synthetic sample of Na2[H2TMED][B7O9(OH)5]2 in the solid state at room temperature was also investigated by fluorescence spectrophotometer.
