title: A novel polyoxovanadium borate incorporating an organic amine ligand: synthesis and structure of [V12B16O50(OH)7(en)]7-.
abstract: A novel 1D chain organic-inorganic hybrid polyoxovanadium borate Na[V(12)B(16)O(50)(OH)(7)(en)](2)(enH(2))(6)(enH)(2)(OH)(H(2)O)(19) (1, en = ethylenediamine), based on a [V(12)B(16)O(50)(OH)(7)(en)](7-) cluster unit, has been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized. Interestingly, organic amine is incorporating into the V(12)B(16) clusters.
