Structural and thermal studies of non-metal cation pentaborate salts with cations derived from 1, 5-diazobicyclo [4.3. 0] non-5-ene, 1, 8-diazobicyclo [5.4. 0] undec-7-ene and 1, 8-bis (dimethylamino) naphthalene.

Compounds 1–3 were characterized by spectroscopic studies (NMR, IR) and compounds 1 and 3 were further characterized by single-crystal XRD studies. The pentaborate salts compounds show extensively H-bonded supramolecular anionic lattices which are templated by the cations. Thermal analysis (TGA) of 1–3 showed that thermally decomposed in air at 1000° to B2O3 in a two step process involving dehydration (<250 °C) and oxidation (250–600 °C). BET analysis of materials derived from thermolysis of 1–3 had internal porosities of <1 m2/g.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPentaboratePolyborateX-Ray StructureArticle38115716110.1016/j.poly.2012.02.031N/AQ2
