Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of a coordination polymer containing heptanuclear Co-7(mu(3)-OH)(8) clusters
The hydrothermally synthesized Co-7(u(3)-OH)(8)(mu -ox)(3)-(mu -ppz)(3) contains heptanuclear hydroxo-bridged Co-(II) clusters in the form of corner-fused double cubanes: Each cluster is further bridged by six oxalate (di) and Six: piperazine (ppi) ligands with 12 other clusters into a 3-D structure.
