Metalloligand-based coordination polymer embedding the nitrosyl ruthenium complex for photoactive materials with bound nitric oxide†
Abstract
The stability of a photoactivated isonitrosyl state was boosted by confining a pre-designed bicarboxylate ligand with a ruthenium nitrosyl fragment in a 2D metal–organic framework. The novel Zn/Ru-based MOF, {Zn[RuNO(H2O)(inic)2(OH)2]2}·12H2O (inic = isonicotinate), was obtained with enhanced isonitrosyl stability by 30 K (up to 200 K) compared to the related ruthenium-only complex.
