Self-assembly of a three-dimensional network from two-dimensional layers via metallic spacers: the (3,4)-connected frame of [Ag3(hmt)2][ClO4]3·2H 2O (hmt = hexamethylenetetramine)
AgClO 4 reacts with hexamethylenetetramine (hmt) in ethanol–CH 2 Cl 2 in the ratio 1:1 to yield the two-dimensional polymer [Ag(hmt)] ClO 4 , consisting of hexagonal meshed laye...
