Non-Natural Eight-Connected Solid-State Materials: A New Coordination Chemistry

摘要

Molecular and materials science has provided a wide range of topologies and connectivities in the solid state. The most common nomenclature for such systems has been based on the idea of two-, three-, four-, or six-connected materials in one, two and three dimensions. Connectivities of five, seven, or higher are extremely rare, and recent studies on inorganic/organic hybrid materials, especially in the area of metal-ligand coordination framework polymers, have enriched this area substantially.
