Polymeric two- and three-dimensional transition-metal complexes comprising supramolecular host-guest systems

摘要

Based on a synthetic strategy, extended anionic, homo-and bimetallic oxalato-bridged transition-metal compounds with two-(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) connectivities can be synthesized and crystallized. Thereby, the choice of the templating counter ions will determine the crystal chemistry. The aim of this synthetic, supramolecular approach is to exploit host-guest solids, where each component contributes its own physical characteristics. The two entities could behave independently, resulting in composite properties, or they may interact in a synergistic way, potentially leading to new physical phenomena. [References: 14]
