Abstract

The new vanadoborate-supported zinc complex [Zn(teta)]6[(VO)12O6B18O36(OH)6](H2O) ・8H2O (1, teta = triethylenetetramine) was synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, and IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Complex 1 crystallizes in the trigonal system in space group R3̄ and consists of the neutral [Zn(teta)]6[(VO)12O6B18O36(OH)6](H2O) cage aggregate that is built up from a [(VO)12O6B18O36(OH)6]12− cluster decorated with six [Zn(teta)]2+ complex groups, and a water molecule occupying the center of the cluster cage.
