Synthesis of new stoichiometric barium bismuth borates BaBi₂B₂O₇, BaBi₁₀B₆O₂₅, BaBi₈B₂O₁₆

Abstract

Page s161 s161 framework upon dehydration/ rehydration processes, due to reversible movements of some organic moieties and hopping of some nickel atoms. The ability of MIL-77 inorganic network to accommodate glutarate derivatives was demonstrated by the use of 3-methylglutaric acid (3-MG) and 2-methylglutaric acid (2-MG). Moreover, we have shown that the handedness of the inorganic helices could be imposed by the configuration of the enantiopur 2-MG ligand. With cobalt ion, the synthesis of bulk homochiral solid has been confirmed by optical circular dichroism [2]. Here, we will summarize the structural features and the properties of this unique family of materials.
