Abstract
AbstractHydrates of the dihydronium salt of the superweak anion B12F122– have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure of (H3O)2B12F12·6H2O consists of a cubic close‐packed (CCP) array of B12F122– anions intercalated with nonplanar, infinite networks of O6 rings composed of H3O+ ions and H2O molecules. Similar to other salts of B12F122–, (H3O)2B12F12·6H2O exhibits rapid structural modification, termed latent porosity, and reversibly desorbswater to form other hydrate phases: (H3O)2B12F12·4H2O,(H3O)2B12F12·2H2O, and (H3O)2B12F12. (H3O)2B12F12·6H2O is another example of the weak coordinating properties of the B12F122– anion.
