Abstract

A series of mono/bimetallic isostructural hybrid tetraborates of the general formula [Zn_xCo_(1-x)(1,3-dap)B₄O₇] has been prepared using a solvothermal method. Their adsorption/desorption curves for H₂O and D₂O demonstrate that these materials have a stronger affinity for H₂O than for D₂O and enrich the D₂O content of D₂O/H₂O mixtures.
