Crystal structure of catena-poly-{aqua-[μ₂-1,2-bis((1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene-κ² N:N′]-[μ₂-4,4′-(dimethylsilanediyl)dibenzato-κ³ O,O′:O′]nickel(II)}, C₃₀H₃₀N₄NiO₅Si

Metal–Organic Frameworks Constructed from Group 1 Metals (Li, Na) and Silicon-Centered Linkers

“…Despite this, only a handful of MOFs have been synthesized using L1 and L2. [26][27][28] L3 has been used to synthesize MOFs with a variety of d-block, [29][30][31][32] and f-block metal nodes, [33][34][35][36] but the only MOFs with s-block metal nodes were reported by us using Mg 2+ or Ca 2+ . 37 Latterly, Moon and co-workers reported the synthesis of a MOF with L3 as linker and Li + -based nodes which was used as a precursor to porous lithium orthosilicate.…”
