title: An unusual seven-connected lead borate constructed by different cluster building units of {B6} and {Pb6}.
abstract: A new 3D lead borate Pb(6)B(6)O(14)(OH)(2)(H(2)O), built by different cluster building units of B(6)O(14)(OH) {B(6)} and Pb(6)O(5)(OH) {Pb(6)}, has been obtained under mild hydrothermal conditions. Each {B(6)} cluster is linked with seven {Pb(6)} clusters and vice versa that give rise to the first 7-connected lead borate network.
