Two new penta-borates, tris-odium zinc cadmium penta-borate, Na3Zn0.912Cd0.088B5O10, and tris-odium zinc magnesium penta-borate, Na3Zn0.845Mg0.155B5O10, have been synthesized by high-temperature solution reactions at 1023 K. Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Both solid solutions crystallize in the ortho-rhom-bic form of the parent compound Na3ZnB5O10 ...

The title imidazolium-based ionic-liquid salt, C(18)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2BF(4) (-), has the cation lying about a center of inversion. The five-membered imidazole ring is approximately perpendicular to the six-membered phenyl-ene ring [dihedral angle = 86.9 (1)°]. The tetra-fluoro-borate anion is disordered over two sites in a 0.722 (3):0.278 (3) ratio.

In the crystal structure of the title molecular salt, C(13)H(30)N(5)O(+)·C(24)H(20)B(-), discrete guanidinium cations and tetra-phenyl-borate anions are present. The C-N bond lengths in the CN(3) unit are 1.3427 (12), 1.3445 (12) and 1.3453 (13) Å, indicating double-bond character. The central C atom is surrounded in a nearly ideal trigonal-planar geometry by three N atoms and the positive char...

Crystals of β-Zn(3)(BO(3))(PO(4)) have been grown by the Kyropoulos method. The asymmetric unit contains three Zn sites, three B-atom sites (all with symmetry 3), two P sites (both with m symmetry) and nine O-atom sites (four with m symmetry). The fundamental building units of the title structure are isolated BO(3) triangles and PO(4) tetra-hedra, which are bridged by ZnO(4) tetra-hedra or ZnO(...

1. Diacetates of the four possible racemates of 4',7-dimethoxyflavan-3,4-diol have been synthesized. 2. Comparison of their nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectra and the ionophoretic mobilities of the diols in borate buffer with those of the corresponding derivatives of guibourtacacidin shows that the natural 4',7-dihydroxyflavan-3,4-diol has a 2,3-cis-3,4-trans configuration, but is accompanied b...
