Molecular tectonics: design of 2-D networks by simultaneous use of charge-assisted hydrogen and coordination bonds

Cristina Carpanese, Sylvie Ferlay, Nathalie Kyritsakas, Marc Henry and Mir Wais Hosseini

Using a combination of charge-assisted H- and coordination-bonds, a tetra component system composed of a dicationic and a dianionic organic tecton, Ag+ cation and XF6- (X= P, As, Sb) anion behaves as planned and leads to the formation of 2-D isostructural networks for which the energetic contributions of the two recognition events dominate the construction process.
