24. 3B (2.18 mmol) was added before heating at 140 °C for 96 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and the suspension filtered through a 0.2 μm membrane under vacuum. The black residue obtained was washed with toluene, and dried at 100 °C for 24 h. The product was characterized by FTIR in KBr (model IR-200 Thermo-Nicolet 2.2), XRD (model Scintag theta-theta diffractometer PAD-X), and TGA (model Universal V3.4C TA instruments).
