metal-organic compounds
In a novel Cu–Na heteronuclear three-dimensional coordination polymer, the carboxylate groups of iminodiacetate (ida) ligands act as bridges and connect [Cu(ida)] and [Cu(ida)2] building blocks in a 2:1 ratio, forming two-dimensional arrays. These layers are interconnected into a three-dimensional structure by sodium ions.
metal-organic compounds
A metal-organic framework (MOF) is reported in which an AgI cation is coordinated by two N atoms from two different 3,5-diethyl-1,2,4-triazolate ligands in a linear configuration. Each AgI cation is then connected to two adjacent AgI cations via a 3-N1:N2:N4-triazolate ligand.
