A Neutral 3D Copper Coordination Polymer Showing 1D Open Channels and the First Interpenetrating NbO‐Type Network

Abstract

Being bulky is good: The use of a bulky multifunctional ligand is key to the successful construction of a neutral 3D copper coordination polymer that shows 1D open channels and the first interpenetrating NbO‐type network (see picture). The absorption properties of the complex are investigated.

Two manganese(II) complexes based on anthracene-9-carboxylate: Syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties

“…Similar to what we found previously [23][24][25][26]42], such carboxylic acid ligands bearing the bulky anthracene skeleton have larger conjugated p-systems, and therefore pÁÁÁp stacking and/or C-HÁÁÁp interactions play an important role in the formation of their complexes, especially in the aspect of linking the multi-nuclear discrete subunits or low-dimensional motifs into higher-dimensional supramolecular architectures. In the synthesis of complexes (1) and (2), we have observed how the ability of the anthracene rings to interact through pÁÁÁp stacking and C-HÁÁÁp interactions has led to the formation of the supramolecular architectures here observed.…”

Synthesis, Crystal Structures and Photoluminescent Properties of Three Novel Cadmium(II) Compounds Constructed from 5‐Sulfoisophthalic Acid (H3SIP)

“…[5][6][7] Consequently, a wide variety of coordination architectures with interesting structures and desired properties have been prepared through judicious choice of organic ligands and metal ions. [8][9][10][11] Recently, 5-sulfoisophthalic acid (H 3 SIP) has been successfully used to investigate the lanthanide contraction effect [12] and the coordination polymer chemistry of a main group metal (Pb 2+ ), [13] because of its multiple coordinating modes and the sensitivity of the sulfonate group to the surrounding chemical environment. In this contribution, SIP will serve as a probe to examine the coordination polymer chemistry of the late transition metal Cd 2+ .…”

Coordination polymers with adamantanediacetate bridges: syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties

“…The design of coordination polymers in which metal centers are linked by organic molecules has attracted much attention because of their structural topological novelty [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] and their potential applications such as luminescence [8][9][10], molecular magnetism [11][12][13][14][15], molecular absorption [16,17], catalysis [18,19], and ionexchange [20,21]. Among these applications, molecular magnetic materials are usually prepared through a building-block approach, where the paramagnetic transition metal ions are combined with appropriate bridging ligands that allow for magnetic exchange coupling [22].…”
