Abstract
An organic–inorganic hybrid polyoxovanadoborate K6(CH3NH3)4[V12B18O54(OH)6-(H2O)]·2en·12H2O (1, en = ethylenediamine) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by IR spectroscopy, element analyses, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal structure analysis reveals that 1 consists of a cage-like polyoxovanadium borate [V12B18O54(OH)6(H2O)]10− cluster that is constructed from a puckered {B18O36(OH)6} ring sandwiched by two triangle {V6O18} units, in which a water molecule is confined in the middle of the cage-like cluster. Interestingly, 1 represents the rare example of extended 3-D framework constructed from [V12B18O54(OH)6-(H2O)]10− clusters through K+ cations.
