We herein describe a coordination polymer system built upon the reactions of a W/Cu/S cluster precursor [Et4N][Tp*WS3(CuBr)3] (1, Tp* = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with three equivalents of CuCN through solvent modulation. Four coordination polymers, namely, [Tp*WS3Cu3(μ3-DMF)(CN)3Cu(Py)] (2), [Tp*WS3Cu3(μ3-DMF)(CN)3Cu] (3), [Tp*WS3Cu3(μ3-DMF)(CN)3Cu]·4aniline (4·4aniline) and [Tp*WS3Cu3(μ3-DMF)(CN)3Cu]·2(DMF)0.5 (5·2(DMF)0.5), are isolated in different solvent systems and characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, UV-Vis, ESI-MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 2-5 feature μ3-DMF association with the nest-shaped [WS3Cu3] cluster cores, yielding cubane-type [WS3Cu3O] clusters which are further linked to single Cu(I) ions through CN bridges to provide 1D or 2D structures. Compounds 3-5 have identical chemical compositions in their main fragments but with distinctively different structural features, and are therefore topological isomers. Compound 2 has a ladder-type structure in which the side rails contain alternately linked cluster cores and Cu(I) ions. Compound 3 has a 2D (6,3) network with alternately arranged cluster cores and Cu(I) ions. Both 4 and 5 have 2D structures with 4·8(2) topology. In 4, a pair of cluster cores and Cu(I) ions form a 4-membered ring which is further linked to four equivalent rings through four CN ligands via a cluster core-to-Cu arrangement; while in the structure of 5, the same 4-membered rings as those in 4 are extended to equivalent rings via a cluster core-to-cluster and Cu-to-Cu arrangement. The hyperpolarizabilities (γ) of the polymeric networks exhibit an enhancement of more than 10 times compared to their parent cluster, 1.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 December 2014.
All research outputs
#31,183,241
of 34,361,833 outputs
Outputs from Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
#16,809
of 24,748 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#360,366
of 409,688 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Dalton Transactions: An International Journal of Inorganic Chemistry
#1,087
of 2,239 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,361,833 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 24,748 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 409,688 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2,239 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
