A Simple Lithium(I) Salt with a Microporous Structure and Its Gas Sorption Properties

Self-assembled Cages and Capsules Using Cyclotriveratrylene-type Scaffolds

“…This twists the orientation of the ligands such that there is no significant internal space, and hostguest associations occur between ligands (Figure 7b) (Figure 8). 43 Some examples of this class of CTC-based cage link together into coordination networks.…”

“…Here a layer of capsule motifs is created by a combination of hostguest binding of anthracene by the (CTC)¢3(phen) hydrogen-bonded complex along with ππ stacking interactions (Figure 11). 52 A variety of coordination polymers that involve CTV, 53 CTC, 43 or CTV-type tripodal ligands 38,40,5457 have been reported. This is of particular interest because the use of molecular hosts as building units for MOFtype materials allows a hierarchy of potential hostguest interactions through embedded molecular-recognition sites alongside framework cavities and channels.…”

“…The isostructural coordination polymer complexes [Ag 3 (CH 3 -CN) 3 4 ] (M = Co or Mn) tetrahedra analogous to those discussed above are found within complicated anion-bridged coordination polymers. 43 As for discrete examples, these complexes crystallize with additional alkali metal counter cations, and 3D networks can be formed through cation£π interactions between additional alkali metal cations and the external aryl faces of the CTC ligands. The tetrahedral [Mn 6 (OH) 6 (CTC-6H) 4 ] coordination tetrahedron, for example, contains Cs + bound to the inside of the cage along with a central [Na(H 2 O) 6 ] + and a 3D coordination polymer formed through both exo Mn(OH)Mn bridges and through cation£π interactions.…”

The construction of a new POMs-based inorganic–organic hybrid framework involving in-situ ligand conversion from 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane to isonicotinic acid

“…Polyoxometalates (POMs) have been attracting extensive interest in the field of solid-state materials chemistry because of the wide range of their topological properties and their great potential for application in catalysis, photochemistry, electrochromism, and magnetism [1][2][3][4]. In the past decades, the catalytic properties of POMs have attracted much attention, and a large number of correlative research works have been reported.…”

Synthesis, crystal structures and luminescence properties of two novel 3D heterometallic coordination polymers

“…1 and 2 exhibit two novel three-dimensional (3D) frameworks, and the luminescence properties of 1, 2 were investigated.The crystal engineering of heterometallic coordination polymers (HMCPs) through rational design is widespread concern not only owing to their intriguing topological structure, but also their potential applications, such as, luminescence, magnetism and gas adsorption [1,2]. Up to now, different kinds of HMCPs have been successfully designed and synthesized by controlling many subtle factors in reaction process, such as the temperature, molar ratio of the materials, solvent, counter ion, and pH of the medium [3].…”
