Abstract:
Two alkali and main group metal borates, K3[B5O8(OH)]·HCOO (1) and Al[B5O10]·2NH2(CH3)2 (2), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. 1 features a 2D layer constructed from [B5O10(OH)]6- clusters, which are linked by hydrogen bonds to form a 3D supramolecular framework. 2 exhibits a 3D aluminoborate framework formed by [B5O10]5- clusters, and strict alternation of B-O clusters and AlO4 tetrahedra leads to six types of channels. Notably, 3D open-framework 2 is structurally related to the 2D-layered structure of 1, involving terminal dehydroxylation and the introduction of chiral AlO4 units into the B-O network. Both 1 and 2 exhibit short deep ultraviolet (DUV) absorption cutoff edges and moderate second harmonic generation (SHG) responses of 2.0 and 1.5 times that of KDP, respectively, indicating their potential as DUV nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals.

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
