Four novel gallium and indium borates, [M(en){sub 2}][B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}]{center_dot}H{sub 2}O (M=Ga (1), In (2); en=ethylenediamine), [In(dap){sub 2}][B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}]{center_dot}H{sub 2}O (3, dap=1,2-diaminopropane), [In(dien)][B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}] (4, dien=diethylenetriamine), have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by IR spectra, elemental analyses, powder X-ray diffraction, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analyses. Compounds 1, 2 and 3 are isostructural and consist of one-dimensional (1-D) chains built up from [B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}]{sup 3-} clusters and Ga-/In-complex linkers. The structure of compound 4 features a 1-D chain containing 8-member rings built by [B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}]{sup 3-} clusters and {l_brace}In{sub 2}O{sub 4}{r_brace} dimeric cluster linkers which have never observed in the structural chemistry of borates to date. The H-bonding interactions between adjacent chains lead to 3-D supramolecular network structure. - Graphical abstract: Four novel gallium and indium borates with one-dimensional structures built by B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}{sup 3+} clusters and metal complex linkers have been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Four new Ga/In borates have been hydrothermally made. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The helical/ribbon-like chains made of B{sub 5}O{sub 8}(OH){sub 2}{sup 3+} clusters and Ga-/In-complex linkers. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The chains form novel 3-D supermolecule framework via H-bonds.
