Abstract
The characterisation of a series of compounds obtained from Woollins' reagent (W.R.) offers a novel approach to organometallic coordination polymers. The syntheses were achieved by nucleophilic ring-opening reactions of W.R. with metal salts and crystallisation using solvent-diffusion techniques. One-dimensional coordination polymers are formed as a result, and we demonstrate that the dimensionality of the polymers can be influenced by using hydrated metal salts or by the construction of heterometallic arrangements.
