Crystal structure of MgK_0.5[B₆O₁₀](OH)_0.5·0.5H₂O, poly[dimagnesium potassium bis(hexa-borate) hy-droxide monohydrate].

ABSTRACT: The solvothermal reaction of H₃BO₃, KCF₃SO₃, Mg(CF₃SO₃)₂ and pyridine led to a new alkali- and alkaline-earth-metal borate, MgK_0.5[B₆O₁₀](OH)_0.5·0.5H₂O. Its structure features an intricate three-dimensional framework built from [B₆O₁₃]^8- clusters, thus resulting in a six-connected achiral net with high symmetry. Each [B₆O₁₃]^8- building block is composed of three trigonal BO₃ and three tetra-hedral BO₄ units, with these BO₄ units being further connected to neighboring BO₃ units, giving rise to an oxoboron cluster of the general formula [B₆O
