Charge-density level structure was determined in a prototypical nanoporous material with strong guest-host interaction, K 0.34 Co͓Fe͑CN͒ 6 ͔ 0.75 · zH 2 O͑z = 3.6 and 2.7͒. We determined atomic coordinates and occupancies ͑g͒ of three kinds of oxygen sites of guest waters, i.e., zeolite water, ligand water, and off-axis water, as a function of z. The variation in g against z indicates easily removable nature of the zeolite and off-axis waters, and robust coordination bond with the ligand water. Significant change in the charge density of the host-NC-Fe-CN-Co-NC-Fe-CN-lattice revealed hybridization effect between the off-axis water and the adjacent Co atom.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
