Coordination polymers with [Au(CN)4]- building blocks: a 1-d chain of molecular NiII 2AuIII 2 squares

Dynamic motion of building blocks in porous coordination polymers.

2 , 4 - Triphospholyl anions – versatile building blocks for the formation of 1 D , 2 D and 3 D assemblies † ‡

The potential of K[P3C2R2] (R = Bu, Mes) as building blocks in metallo-supramolecular chemistry was investigated and self-assembly processes with Cu(I) halides resulted in the formation of a large variety of unprecedented one-, twoand even three-dimensional aggregates. The 3D networks showed an interesting topological similarity to allotropes of carbon: diamond and the theoretically proposed po...

Syntheses, structures, and photoluminescence of 1-D lanthanide coordination polymers.

Five new lanthanide 1-D coordination polymers are reported which are formed from flexible salen type Schiff-base ligands H(2)L and H(2)L' (H(2)L = N,N(1)-ethylene bis(salicylideneimine); H(2)L' = N,N(1)-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)ethylene-1,2-diamine). The polymeric structures are formed by bridging neutral H(2)L units in the case of {[Ln(2)L(2)(CF(3)SO(3))(H(2)L)(4)(MeOH)] x CF(3)SO(3)}(n) (Ln ...

Fabrication of 2-D photonic crystals using azo polymers

In this paper, we have reported the fabrication of two-dimensional photonic crystals, using a direct writing method in azo polymers. Periodic structures have been fabricated using the interference patterns of two coherent laser beams. The frequency response of the initial one-dimensional structure shows an attenuation of 19.3dB at 1554nm. The twodimensional structure shows 8.3dB and 11.3dB of a...

Metal aminocarboxylate coordination polymers with chain and layered structures.

The synthesis and structures of metal aminocarboxylates prepared in acidic, neutral, or alkaline media have been explored with the purpose of isolating coordination polymers with linear chain and two-dimensional layered structures. Metal glycinates of the formulae [CoCl2(H2O)2(CO2CH2NH3)] (I), [MnCl2(CO2CH2NH3)2] (II), and [Cd3Cl6(CO2CH2NH3)4] (III) with one-dimensional chain structures have be...
