Solid state coordination chemistry of microporous metal-organic frameworks of the cadmium(ii)-4-pyridyltetrazolate family: the structural influences of chloride incorporation.
While the metal-organic framework [Cd(4)(OH)(2)(4-pt)(6)(DMF)(4)].12DMF (.12DMF) (4-pt = 4-pyridyltetrazolate) is constructed from binuclear metal subunits, linked into porous {Cd(2)(OH)(DMF)(2)(4-pt)(3)}(6) cages, introduction of increasing concentrations of chloride yields the 3-D framework materials, [Cd(4)Cl(3)(4-pt)(4)(OH)(DMF)(3)].8DMF.14MeOH (.8DMF.14MeOH) and [Cd(5)Cl(6)(4-pt)(DMF)(2)(H(2)O)(2)].10DMF (.10DMF), constructed from tetranuclear and chain building blocks, respectively.
