Long Chain Aliphatic Diamine as Template for the Construction of Host–Guest Copper–Cyanide 3D-Network

Effect of structural variability and flexibility of aliphatic diamines on self-assembly of host-guest coordination polymers constructed of copper cyanide networks: Structure study and catalytic activity

“…DAHP adopts bent structure at C14 where the angle C13-C14-C13 equals 117.24 o . SCP 1 can be considered the second example containing two perpendicular mini-cycles with one (Cu2) atom connecting two (Cu1) atoms producing cluster like structure [11]. The Cu1-Cu2 distance equals to 2.51(5) Å which represents a remarkable feature of the [Cu 2 (μ 3 -CN) 2 ] motifs.…”

“…Organo-diimines had been widely utilized to synthesize different SCPs using copper(I) cyanide [14,21,25], while aliphatic diamines had only been used with silver thiocyanate, silver(I) cyanide and an example with silver azide [26][27][28]. Also, the [Cu x (CN) x+n ] nanion creates fantastic topologies starting from ethylenediamine (en) to 1,6-diaminohexane (DAHX) [11,29,30] as far as we known. The present work represents continuation to our previous work on design of different architectures based on aliphatic diamines and copper cyanide in presence of Me 3 SnCl.…”

“…The most interesting research areas in coordination chemistry is the design of multi-dimensional supramolecular coordination polymers (SCPs) which nd wide applications in many different areas such as of catalysis, photocatalysis, sensors, luminescence and medicinal chemistry [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Also, one of the most interesting family of coordination polymers is cyano-bridged SCPs owing to their intriguing structural topologies and interesting properties [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The attractive phenomenon of the [CuCN] n building blocks from the viewpoint of structural engineering comes from their versatility in accommodating various ligand-imposed geometric requirements [9,11,14,17,18].…”

The bridging of CN in the quadro-[M 2 (m 3 -CN) 2 ] motif represents an exceptional case which looks almost like "carbon monoxide".…”
