Abstract

Reactions of Cu^I salts with 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene (HAT) afford three types of cationic coordination polymers depending on the anion present in the reaction solution. In the crystal structure of {[Cu(HAT)][BF₄]·1/3(C₆H₆)}_∞, (1), Cu ions and HAT molecules form extended layers that are best described as strongly distorted honeycomb nets. The space between the layers is occupied by [BF₄]⁻ anions and solvent molecules. {[Cu(HAT)][PF₆]}_∞, (2), crystallizes as a chiral (10,3)-a net with [PF₆]⁻ anions residing in the cavities of the three-dimensional metal–organic framework. The crystal structure of {[Cu₄(HAT)₃][SbF₆]₄·3C₆H₆}_∞, (3), is based on unique extended [Cu₄(HAT)₃]_∞ “nanotubules” filled with solvent molecules and [SbF₆]⁻ anions.
