Abstract

The controlled cleavage of coordination polymers consisting of well-defined large units can be employed for the rational synthesis of high nuclearity clusters. This synthetic concept is demonstrated by the conversion (schematically shown) of a three-dimensional ZnII coordination polymer containing repeating hexameric units with a "twin-anchor" arrangement of the metal ions into the corresponding hexanuclear cluster by reaction with a donor solvent.

Keywords: N ligands; cluster compounds; coordination polymers; synthetic methods; zinc.
