Vapor-triggered Reversible Crystal Transformation in Nickel-based Magnetic Molecular Switch

Vapor-trigged crystal to crystal transformation between a discrete trinuclear complex [Ni3(sih)2(py)8] and a two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer [Ni3(sih)2(py)2]n·DMF·H2O was demonstrated. It provides an example of solid-state coordination induced spin state...

Synthesis, structures and properties of metal–organic frameworks prepared using a semi-rigid tricarboxylate linker

A series of MOFs constructed from 5-((carboxymethyl)amino)isophthalic acid (H3cmai) have been prepared and characterised, with [Cd3(cmai)2(H2O)4]·4H2O demonstrating loss of water in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation.

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Reversible Solid-State Crystal-to-Crystal Transformation of Three Isostructural Lead(II) Halide Coordination Polymers with different luminescence properties in bulk and nano scale

Novel three dimensional (3D) isostructural lead(II) halide coordination polymers [Pb(INO)X]n X= Cl (1) , Br (2), I (3); INO = isonicotinic acid n-oxide] have been synthesized via branched-tube method. The...
