Abstract
The solvothermal reaction of H3BO3, KCF3SO3, Mg(CF3SO3)2 and pyridine led to a new alkali- and alkaline-earth-metal borate, MgK0.5[B6O10](OH)0.5·0.5H2O. Its structure features an intricate three-dimensional framework built from [B6O13]8- clusters, thus resulting in a six-connected achiral net with high symmetry. Each [B6O13]8- building block is composed of three trigonal BO3 and three tetra-hedral BO4 units, with these BO4 units being further connected to neighboring BO3 units, giving rise to an oxoboron cluster of the general formula [B6O10]2-.
