title: Cotemplating synthesis of a rare borate Ni(en)3·Hen·[B9O13(OH)4]·H2O with a chiral polyanonic chain constructed from two different clusters.
abstract: Ni(en)3·Hen·[B9O13(OH)4]·H2O was prepared under the cotemplating effect of [Ni(en)3](2+) and Hen(+). It was the first example of a cotemplated borate with an unusual chiral polyanionic chain, which was constructed from [B5O8(OH)2] and [B4O7(OH)2] clusters.
