Twelve-connected net with face-centered cubic topology: A coordination polymer based on [Cu12(μ4-SCH3) 6]6+ clusters and CN- linkers

Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Globular configuration: a microporous coordination polymer based on a dodecanuclear copper(I) cluster (picture: C black, Cu red, N blue, S yellow) as a twelve-connected node, was synthesized by a simultaneous redox, sulfurization, and self-assembly reaction under solvothermal conditions. The synthesis provides a model reaction to simulate the transformation of inorganic sulfur into organic sulfur. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
