A novel microporous cluster polymer {Et4N](2)[WS4Cu4(CN)(4)]}(n) with cyanide-bridged three-dimensional open-framework
Reaction of (Et4N)(2)WS4 with CuCN (molar ratio of 1:4) in pyridine affords an interesting three-dimensional cluster polymer with open-framework. The crystal structure determination shows that the anionic WS4Cu4 units bridged by cyanide produce three-dimensional channels running down the crystallographic a axis.
