Iodine-templated assembly of an In(iii) complex with a single-crystal-to-single-crystal transition†
Abstract
Templated by iodine molecules, the first example of an I2-containing In(III)-MOF, [In2(pydc)3(H2O)]·0.5I2·0.5H2O, has been prepared. It shows a rare single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation upon removal the lattice iodine molecules.
