This project contributes to the development of a new chemistry of the solid state - where control over the architecture, metrics, dimensionality and properties of synthetic crystalline solids is as sophisticated as is currently possible in molecular chemical synthesis.A new approach to the preparation of crystal structures with designed patterns of molecular aggregation will be used. We will exploit a modular system in which complex ions with hydrogen bonding capability from 1-, 2- and 3-D motifs in crystal structures. Cations based on protonated 4-pyridyl derivatives and related species will be employed to provide linear bifunctional linking units; branches will be induced using planar an pyramidal trifunctional and planar and tetrahedral tetrafunctional linking units. Metallate anions of square planar, tetrahedral, octahedral or more complex form will be used. The control of network topology and structure dimensionality afforded by the variation of complex ions will be explored. Variation of charge, stiochiometry, shape, hydrogen bonding ability and functional group effects will be used to monitor their influence on the structures formed. Preparation of mixed metal and mixed halide species will be attempted based on the observation of related structures. Synthetic and preparative methods will be developed to afford bulk and single crystal samples of the new solids.
