Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 18.259（5）, b = 17.191（4）, c = 16.371（4） A, V= 4717（2） A3, C27H16C1NsOnZn, Mr= 575.29, Dc = 1.620 g/cm3, p（MoKa） = 1.202 mm-1, F（000） = 2335, Z = 8, the final R = 0.032 and wR = 0.074 for 4723 observed reflections （I 〉 2σ（I））.

Structural Regulations of Layered Borates:From Centric Layers to Chiral Porous Layers

Three pentaborates were made by precise structural regulations under hydrothermal conditions,namely,K_(2)Cs-[B_(5)O_(8)(OH)]·0.5CO_(3)(1),KNa_(4)Cs[B_(5)O_(8)(OH)]_(2)·2OH(2),and NaBa[B_(5)O_(8.5)(OH)](3).Compound 1 features the typical 2D layers constructed from the four-connected B_(5)O_(10)(OH)clusters.By adjustment of the reactants and pH values of the systems to remove interlayered CO_(3)^(2−)groups,the centric layers in 1 were transformed to the chiral layers of 2.By further adjusting cationic templates based on host−guest charge matching,the B_(5)O_(10)(OH)cluster unit was transformed to B_(5)O_(11)(OH),which built the chiral porous layers of 3.The chiral compounds 2 and 3 exhibit moderate second harmonic generation(SHG)responses of 1.1 and 1.7 times that of KDP(KH_(2)PO_(4)).The structural regulations actualize the evolutions on both structural symmetries and dimensions.
