Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Coordination polymers are crystalline materials constructed from metal ions and organic ligands.
  • 1D coordination polymers exhibit chain-like structures with potential applications in various fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and characterize a new channel-containing 1D coordination polymer.
  • To investigate the structural properties and guest inclusion capabilities of the novel material.
