Abstract:
A μ(4)-Cl bridged anionic sodalite-type porous metal-organic framework (Et(2)NH(2))(3)[(Cu(4)Cl)(3)(TTCA)(8)]·26DEF was synthesized, in which Et(2)NH(2)(+) can be exchanged by Li(+) cations. The results of gas measurements indicate that Et(2)NH(2)(+) and Li(+) are beneficial for methane and hydrogen storage, respectively.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
