Abstract:
Two novel cyclodiphosphazane cluster frameworks with Cu4X4 clusters as tetrahedral nodes and ferrocenyl cyclodiphosphazanes [Fe(η(5)-C5H4)2(PN(t)Bu)2] as ditopic linkers have been synthesized. These frameworks having sodalite topology display a unique integration of porosity and redox activity and offer new opportunities for the synthesis of zeotype frameworks with soft phosphorus-based ligands.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
