Basket weave-like 2-D coordination polymer generated by the self-assembly of [Mn(H2O)6]2+ and geometrically anisotropic [W(CN)6bpy]2− precursors
Abstract
The architecture of 2-D [Mn(H2O)3][W(CN)6bpy]·4.5H2O is controlled by CN-bridging of [W(CN)6bpy]2− to [Mn(H2O)3]2+, face-to-face π-stacking interactions within pairs of [W(CN)6bpy]2− and an extensive network of hydrogen bonds; it provides the first example of a
