Abstract

A room temperature reaction of zinc acetate, tributyl borate and N, N, N'N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen) in a mixture of water and 1-butanol has given rise to a new bis-(hexaborato)-zincate, [(Me)2NH(CH2)2NH(Me)2] [{Zn(B6O7(OH)6}2]·2H2O (I). The structure, determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, (P1, a = 8.3014(2), b = 9.2489(2), c = 10.442(2)Å, α = 107.71(3), β = 94.22(3), γ = 100.02(3)°, V = 749.6(3)Å3=Z = 1, R1 = 0.0387, wR2 = 0.105), consists of anionic molecular Zn hexaborate units forming a herringbone arrangement, through strong hydrogen bond interactions, with the amine molecule situated between the chains. Compound I is the first bis-(hexaborato)-zincate, to our knowledge, that has been synthesized in the presence of an organic amine.
