Encapsulation of an Interpenetrated Diamondoid Inorganic Building Block in a Metal-Organic Framework

Abstract

The first example of an inorganic-organic composite framework with an interpenetrated diamondoid inorganic building block, featuring unique {InNa}n helices and {In12Na16} nano-rings, has been constructed and structurally characterized. This framework also represents a unique example of encapsulation of an interpenetrated diamondoid inorganic building block in a metal-organic framework.
