The first organically templated 1D lithioberyllofluoride chain, [LiBe2F7][C4N2H12] [H2O]1.5.
Using a combination of hydrothermal and slow evaporation experimental techniques a 1D lithium-beryllium-fluoride chain has been synthesised. In this material a 3D hydrogen bonded network exists between solvent water, a doubly protonated organic piperazinium template and the inorganic chain.
