Boronic acid and boronic ester containing polyoxometalates†
Abstract
Three organoboron functionalized polyoxometalates have been synthesized using Schiff base chemistry including a boronic acid, its methyl ester and its trimethylene glycol ester. The compounds have been characterized in the solid state by single crystal diffraction (XRD), FT-IR and elemental analysis and in solution using 1H NMR spectroscopy.
