Expanding the chemistry of borates with functional [BO2]− anions

Borates offer extended structural diversity and promise in diverse applications. Here the authors report a borate with linear BO2 units as well as NMR spectroscopy characterization that provides a quantitative basis for identification of BO2 units in polycrystalline and non-crystalline samples.
