Coordination bonds and strong hydrogen bonds giving a framework material based on a 4- and 8-connected net in [Ca[Co(en)(oxalato)2]2]n†
Abstract
[Ca[Co(ethylenediamine)(oxalato)2]2]n·4H2O gives a 3D-net based on Ca(oxalato)4 8-connected nodes and Co(en)(oxalato)2 4-connected nodes resulting in a compound that retains its structure and 19% void volume even after residual
