V. Kiritsis et al., ASSEMBLY OF A POROUS 3-DIMENSIONAL COORDINATION POLYMER - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ([LA-2(ADIPATE)(3)(H2O)(4)]6H(2)O)(N), Inorganic chemistry, 37(13), 1998, pp. 3407
The structure and dehydration behavior of the porous 3D coordination p
olymer {[La-2(adipate)(3)(H2O)(4)]6H(2)O}(n) are described. Each La3is coordinated by nine oxygen atoms belonging to five carboxylate liga
nds and to two water molecules. Large infinite interconnected channels
filled with hydrogen-bonded water molecules are formed in the structu
re. Upon heating, this compound transforms reversibly into a nonporous
lower hydrate.
