A structure-directing method to prepare semiconductive zeolitic cluster-organic frameworks with Cu3I4 building units

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 May 28;51(43):8994-7. doi: 10.1039/c5cc02598b.

Abstract

Two semiconductive cluster-organic frameworks based on Cu4I4 and Cu3I4 building units were obtained by the use of different organic structure-directing agents; the latter Cu3I4 nodes are tetrahedrally connected through 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) linkers and Cu-I bridges, giving rise to a zeolitic framework with SOD topology.
