title: Crystal engineering of microporous 'Chinese-lantern' compounds to improve their ability to reversibly adsorb sulfur dioxide.
abstract: Three new 'Chinese lantern' complexes [XMn(mu-dppO2)4MnX](2+)2X-.4MeOH.Me2CO [X = Cl, Br, I; dppO2 = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)propane], have been structurally characterised using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and shown to have increasing affinity for SO2 across the series Cl < Br < I via thermogravimetric measurements.
