Network topology analysis is applied to a large number of mineral and synthetic oxalates, and is shown to be a superior method in describing and communicating the structure of these materials, including the first natural MOF weddellite.

Synthesis, structures, thermal and magnetic properties of two bis(oxalato)cuprate(II) hybrid salts containing pyridinium derivative cations

Mono- and a di-protonated pyridine type cations have been used for the synthesis of two bis(oxalato)cuprate(II) salts, (C5H7N2O)2[Cu(C2O4)2] (C5H7N2O = 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridinium) 1 and C13H16N2[Cu(C2O4)2] (C13H16N2 = 4,4’-tetramethylenedipyridinium) 2. In the...
