Bridging nitrile groups in a metal-organic framework
Journal article, 2012
This article describes two coordination polymers based on sodium and nickel triflates, respectively, and the linker adiponitrile (1,4-butanedinitrile). Sodium triflate forms a coordination network with adiponitrile, where the nitriles bridge the sodium ions, a rare coordination mode for a nitrile. Crystal structures of alkali metal complexes of linear aliphatic dinitriles have not been reported previously. With nickel triflate, a cationic 1-D coordination polymer results upon coordination of adiponitrile.
