Ternary Nets formed by Self-Assembly of Triangles,Squares,and Tetrahedra

摘要

It has now been almost thirty years since Wells catalogued network structures in crystals in a manner that has facilitated the crystal engineering of a wide range of infinite 2D and 3D nets.That crystal engineered nets invoke geometric design principles means that a chemically diverse range of molecular building blocks (MBBs) are available for study as exemplified by coordination polymers (i.e.metal-organic networks),polymers sustained by organometallic linkages and hydrogen-bonded organic networks.
