    Abstract

    The synthesis and XRD structure of [Co(en)3][B5O6(OH)4][B8O10(OH)6].5H2O (1) is reported. Compound 1 arises through a selective templating process from a DCL of polyborate anions. Compound 1 contains two different polyborate species with [B8O10(OH)6]2- being particularly novel. It is comprised of a fused tetraborate and pentaborate anions with a 4-coordinate B atom and a 3 coordinate O atom in common.
