Abstract

Two new borate clusters, [NH3(CH2)3NH3]2[B14O20(OH)6] (1) and [NH3(CH2)6NH3]2[B14O20(OH)6] (2), have been made under solvothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structural analysis. Also their IR and UV–Vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analysis have been investigated, respectively. Crystal data for 1: triclinic, P-1, a = 8.8049(4) Å, b = 9.1585(5) Å, c = 10.1912(5) Å, α = 74.925(4)°, β = 80.987(4)°, γ = 67.495(5)°, Z = 1. Crystal data for 2: triclinic, P-1, a = 9.2010(4) Å, b = 9.8663(4) Å, c = 11.4191(4) Å, α = 107.014(4)°, β = 92.514(3)°, γ = 107.265(4)°, Z = 1. The structures consist of isolated 8-membered boron ring made of the [B7O10(OH)3]2−cluster subunits. UV–Vis spectral investigation indicates that they are wide-band-gap semiconductors. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicates that they are potential blue light materials.
