Wi. Cross et al., Crystal engineering of microporous 'Chinese-lantern' compounds to improve their ability to reversibly adsorb sulfur dioxide, CHEM COMMUN, (18), 2001, pp. 1764-1765
Three new 'Chinese lantern' complexes [XMn(mu -dppO(2))(4)MnX](2+)2X-. 4MeO
H . Me2CO [X = Cl, Br, I; dppO(2) = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphinoyl)propane], h
ave been structurally characterised using single-crystal X-ray diffraction
and shown to have increasing affinity for SO2 across the series Cl < Br < I
via thermogravimetric measurements.
