Ni[B₂ (SO₄ )₄ ] and Co[B₂ (SO₄ )₄ ]: Unveiling Systematic Trends in Phyllosilicate Analogue Borosulfates.

ABSTRACT: Borosulfates are compounds analogous to silicates, with heteropolyanionic subunits of vertex-linked (SO₄ )- and (BO₄ )-tetrahedra. In contrast to the immense structural diversity of silicates, the number of borosulfates is yet very limited and the extent of their properties is still unknown. This is particularly true for representatives with phyllosilicate and tectosilicate analogue anionic substructures. Herein, we present Ni[B₂ (SO₄ )₄ ] and Co[B₂ (SO₄ )₄ ], two new borosulfates with phyllosilicate analogue topology. While the anionic subunits of both structures are homeotypic, the positions of the charge compensating cations differ significantly: Ni^II is located between the borosulfate lay
