Abstract:
We report the synthesis, crystal structure and exfoliation of a new member of an important family of layered compounds: lamellar pyrimidinethiolate coordination polymers. Conductivity measurements and DFT calculations of iron(II) pyrimidine-2-thiolate show that this material and a related compound are insulators.
