Abstract

The solvothermal reaction of H3BO3, sodium tert-butoxide, Rb2CO3 and pyridine led to a new alkaline metal borate hexa-rubidium hexa-hydroxy-dodeca-borate dihydrate, Rb6[B12O18(OH)6]·2H2O. Its structure contains a large cyclic dodeca-oxoboron cluster, [B12O18(OH)6]6-, formed by six {B3O3} rings. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the components lead to the formation of a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework.
