An ultrastable, flexible POM-based coordination polymer with redox properties†
Abstract
A new flexible coordination polymer based on the Keggin-type structure H3PW12O40·xH2O, [Cu(L)2(H2O)H(PW12O40)]·7H2O (1), has been prepared. The framework of 1 shows dynamic behavior accompanied with the removal/adsorption of guest water molecules. Compound 1 can remain intact even in 8 mol L−1 hydrochloric acid, dilute NaOH solution (pH = 12) and boiling water.
