摘要

Using the second sphere coordination approach, a new metal complex has been synthesized through self-assembly of a bent shaped organic dication with [CuCl6](4-) and Cl- anions, yielding a network with one-dimensional channels. The salt encapsulates water and methanol forming a well-defined hydrogen bonding array. The framework is thermally stable ( 190 degrees C) whilst keeping the channels. It can uptake dichloromethane ( DCM) but not chloroform from a dichloromethane-chloroform mixture. The solid serves as a support matrix for ionic conductivity via the included water/methanol molecules as shown by single crystal impedance spectroscopy.
