A novel aluminoborate open-framework [In(dien)2][Al2B7O16H2] with large chiral cavities templated by chiral main group metal complexes.
A novel aluminoborate open-framework [In(dien)2][Al2B7O16H2] (1, dien = diethylenetriamine) with large chiral cavities has been constructed under solvothermal conditions, in which AlO4 and chainlike B4O8 units are alternately linked to form a network with 20-membered ring windows and then further joined by XO4 (X = 0.5 Al + 0.5 B) units to give a three-dimensional framework.
