Abstract: | The cations [Pd 2 Cl 2 L] 2+ and [KL 2 ′ + (L = [18]aneN2S4, L′ =[15]aneO5) have been used as templates for the synthesis of unique three-dimensional polyiodide networks. The metal cations in [Pd2Cl2L]1.5I5(I3)2 are linked into infinite chains by pairwise hydrogen bonding; the resulting cationic polymers run through channels formed by the extended polyiodide network. [KL2′]I9 shows a three-dimensional network of puckered cubic cages of I9− ions whose cavities are occupied by the metal cations (section from the structure shown on the right). |
