Abstract

A novel germanate compound, |[Ni(dien) 2] 3(H 2O) 3|[Ge 7O 13F 5] 2(designated JU-85, dien = diethylenetriamine), was solvothermally synthesized. The structure of JU-85 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and further characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. JU-85 has dissymmetric chains constructed from diagonally linked Ge 7 building units and various Ni(dien) 2 2+ complexes formed in situ during the synthesis. Compared with its structural analogue, FJ-6, JU-85 contains less complex cations and different host-guest assembly. Besides the diagonal linkage in JU-85, other dissymmetric linkages of Ge 7 building units were enumerated, which could be used as the stereogenic centers for the design of novel chiral germanate compounds.
