An adamantane-based coordination framework with the first observation of discrete metal sulfonate clusters.
By employing a rigid adamantane-based unit as a spacer, a coordination solid with an open channel layered structure results showing the first observation of metal sulfonate clusters. The design approach employed enforces a structural mismatch of metal and ligand coordinative preferences.
