Reversible stimulus-responsive Cu(i) iodide pyridine coordination polymer

Reversible stimulus-responsive Cu(I) iodide pyridine coordination polymer.

We present a structurally flexible copper-iodide-pyridine-based coordination polymer showing drastic variations in its electrical conductivity driven by temperature and sorption of acetic acid molecules. The dramatic effect on the electrical conductivity enables the fabrication of a simple and robust device for gas detection. X-ray diffraction studies and DFT calculations allow the rationalisat...

Stimulus-Responsive Heteroaggregation of Colloidal Dispersions: Reversible Systems and Composite Materials

Heteroaggregation is the aggregation of mixed particle systems where the colloidal particles may differ in charge, size and chemical composition. The phenomenon of heteroaggregation is of great relevance in industrial processes and the natural environment. This review will focus on binary heteroaggregation where at least one of the particles is a stimulus-responsive smart particle. Aggregation ...

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Properties of a New Lanthanide Pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylato Coordination Polymer

A new lanthanide pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylato coordination polymer, [Dy2(H2O)5(ptc)2]·H2O (H3ptc = pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylic acid), was hydrothermally synthesized. The complex exhibits both mono-capped square antiprismatic DyNO8 chromophores and 4,4′-bicapped trigonal prismatic DyNO7 chromophores, which are interconnected through ptc3− anions in μ3η and μ4η coordination modes to achieve a n...
