Molecular tectonics: design and generation of charge-assisted, H-bonded, hybrid molecular networks based on amidinium cations and thio- or isothio-cyanatometallates†
Abstract
Upon combining the bis-amidinium dication 1-2H+ with thiocyanatometallate M(SCN)42− (M = Pd, Hg) or isothiocyanatometallate Cu(NCS)42− anions (behaving as H-bond donor and acceptors, respectively) three new hybrid molecular networks have been obtained in the crystalline phase and structurally characterized by
