title: Synthesis of elliptical vanadoborates housing bimetallic centers [Zn4(B2O4H2)(V10B28O74H8)]8- and [Mn4(C2O4)(V10B28O74H8)]10-.
abstract: The hydrothermal synthesis of three new vanadoborate compounds with elliptical (V10B28O74H8) clusters is described. The clusters contain pairs of bimetallic Zn2 or Mn2 units.
