How metal-oxide and metal-oxo-hydroxide structures form in the early stages of nucleation is of importance in areas as diverse as biology, for example, the formation of ferritin from apoferritin, [1][2][3] and materials science, for example, the synthesis of metal-oxide particles for use in information stor-[*] Dr.
The structural characterisation of a 2D sheet complex [[Mn2(Hetheidi)2(mu-H2O)(H2O)].3H2O]n 1 [Hetheidi =DL-N-(1-hydroxymethylpropyl)iminodiacetic acid] assembled from the tetradentate ligand Hetheidi and MnCl2 reveals the presence of rare unsupported mu-aqua bridges and novel hydrogen-bonded water channels, which bind the sheets together.
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.
