Crystal structure of HESK·3H2O. (a) 2D coordination network with different functional groups located on two sides, i.e. the Aside and Bside. (b) Packing of the coordination polymer layers alternating in an `Aside-to-Aside' and `Bside-to-Bside' fashion; non-coordinated H2O molecules (space-filling mode, oxygen atoms are orange) lie between layers in the `Aside-to-Aside' region. HES− anions are shown in red. |
