K<sub>2</sub>[Ge(B<sub>4</sub>O<sub>9</sub>)]·2H<sub>2</sub>O: A Unique 3D Alternating Linkage Mode of a B<sub>4</sub>O<sub>9</sub> Cluster and GeO<sub>4</sub> Unit in Borogermanate with Two Pairs of Interweaving Double Helical Channels
收藏资源简介：
The first noncentrosymmetric potassium templated borogermanate, K2[Ge(B4O9)]·2H2O, has been solvothermally synthesized and characterized by IR, SEM, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), TGA, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), single crystal X-ray diffraction, and second harmonic generation (SHG) activity, respectively. This compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group Cc with a = 6.793(1) Å, b = 12.0699(3) Å, c = 11.895(3) Å, β = 91.156(4)°, V = 975.1(4) Å3, and Z = 4. Interestingly, the structure possesses a unique 3D alternating linkage mode of B4O9 clusters and GeO4 units and contains two pairs of interweaving double helical channels with a 10-membered ring. In one, the right- and left-handed helices couple each other, and in the other, the left- and right-handed helices couple together. The compound exhibits distinct nonlinear optical (NLO) properties because it lacks a symmetric center. Furthermore, the framework of the title compound not only displays high thermal stability but also can be recoverable to a large degree during a dehydration−hydration cycle.
