Coordination polymers of small cyano anions

Abstract

Small cyano anions, and their derivato be remarkably versatile building blocks for cooination polymers. They have led to magnetically ordered materials, structures with new entangled motifs or novel topologies, and a significant structural diversity, including polymorphism, induced by subtle changes in anion, cation, co-ligands, preparative conditions, or even desolvation. © Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft.
