Coordination polymers



Coordination polymer is the term given in Prussian blue, is a coordination polymer based on Fe-CN-Fe linkages.

Carboxylates

Examples of such materials include many of the metal salts of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, BTC). This tricarboxylic acid has been one of the most popular bridging ligands used in the synthesis of these polymers. The first major paper on the topic of coordination polymers using BTC was by Yaghi et al. [1]. The senior author on this paper was O. M. Yaghi who has since published a large amount on coordination polymers.

A series of solid polymers have been made via the reaction of this tri-uranium and other metals. Other di- and tricarboxylic acids have been used to form polymers [2] One rare but important pair of acids are 4,6-dinitro-5-hydroxyisophthalic acid and 2,4-dinitro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid which are formed by the reaction of a mixture of nickel polymers [3]

It is the case that by using a non bridging cross linked polymer can be obtained than that which is formed by the reaction of BTC and the simple metal salt in the absence of the non bridging ligand. [4] A common type of solid formed using BTC is a layered solid where the benzene rings are coplanar with the planes. This is a layered solid which is similar to graphite in the fact that it is colvently bonded layers which are arranged on top of each other [5]

Polypyridines

Another common synthetic method is to react a polycovalent spacers such as prop-1,3-diyl groups.[6]

Bridging at a single atom

Yet another method of forming coordination polymers is to use a donor atom which bears more than one lead carboxylates.
