An unusual (3,4)-connected cubic-C3N4 type network constructed with [FeIII(Tp)(CN)3] (Tp = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate)

Abstract

By using a pre-designed anionic precursor [FeIII(Tp)(CN)3] (Tp = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate) as a structural building unit, a novel cyanide-bridged metal–organic framework (MOF), [(Tp)6FeII4FeIII2(CN)18Zn5(H2O)3.25·(CH3CN)4.75(C4H10O)2.125(H2O)2]n (1), has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. There are two kinds of secondary building units (SBUs), cube and trigonal bipyramid (TBP) in complex 1. The cubic SBU contains a Zn4Fe4(CN)12 core. Each cube connects to four TBPs and each TBP binds three cubes through its equatorial bonds giving rise to an unprecedented cyanide-bridged (3,4)-connected cubic-C3N4 type network.
