Abstract

Incorporation of boron into templated germanate frameworks has been achieved for the first time. Clusters of GeO4 three-rings are connected by pairs of BO4 tetrahedra into a two-dimensional framework structure with nine-ring channels (see picture; GeO4: light gray; BO4: dark gray). The structure topology is very similar to that of (NH4)4[(GeO2)3(GeO1.5F3)2]⋅0.67 H2O, although very different types and sizes of polyhedra are present in the structures.
