title: K2[Ga(B5O10)].4H2O: the first chiral zeolite-like galloborate with large odd 11-ring channels.
abstract: The first chiral zeolite-like galloborate, K2[Ga(B5O10)].4H2O, has been synthesized by a mild solvothermal method and characterized by Fourier transform IR, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group C2221. The structure possesses a 3D open framework constructed by B5O10 clusters and GaO4 units and contains large odd 11-ring channels.
