A perception of ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions in a two dimensional Ni(ii) heterochiral coordination polymer showing unusual CO2 uptake behavior†
Abstract
We present a robust two dimensional coordination polymer, [Ni2(L)2(N(CN)2)2]n (1) (LH = 2-((1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylimino)methyl)phenol; N(CN)2− = dicyanamide ion) using a chiral Schiff base (LH), which shows diastereoselectivity in the structure via a chiral self-discrimination process, ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions among the metal centers and unusual CO2 uptake behavior as a porous framework
