Reversible emergence of a self-assembled layered structure from three-dimensional isotropic ionic crystal of a cluster compound (4-HNC5H4OH)2Mo6Cl14 driven by absorption of water and alcohols.
The compound comprising nanometer scale cluster molecules showed unusual reversible structural transformation between an isotropic ionic crystal and a layered structure of which the interlayer spaces are filled with the absorbed molecules.
