Cationic coordination polymers with thirteen-fold interpenetrating dia networks: selective coloration and ion-controlled photochromism

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Nov 23;57(93):12496-12499. doi: 10.1039/d1cc05255a.

Abstract

A novel Cd-based cationic coordination polymer (Cd-CCP) constructed using viologen derivatives, which exhibits an unusual thirteen-fold interpenetrating diamondoid network, has been synthesized. Notably, Cd-CCP displays selective and naked-eye distinguished coloration and ion-controlled photochromism towards halide anions.
