Figure 3
The structure of [Cu(im)2]-B as deduced by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: (a) the arrangement of four imidizolato ligands around the copper(II) centre with ellipsoids shown at the 50% level, (b) the underlying sodalite topology, (c) a polyhedral view down the crystallographic c axis, and (d) the 1D channels viewed down the crystallographic c axis in space-filling mode (H atoms omitted for clarity). Colours: Cu = brown, C = dark grey, N = blue, H = pink, filled imidazolate rings = peach.
