Title: Stepwise Assembly of Coordination-Based Metal-Organic Networks

Journal Article · · Journal of the American Chemical Society
OSTI ID:1041915

Metal-organic networks (MONs) were created by a stepwise solution deposition approach from vinylpyridine-based building blocks and PdCl{sub 2}. The combined experimental and computational study demonstrates the formation of saturated, structurally organized systems on solid supports. The rigid nature and geometry of the components are well-suited to form honeycomb and parallelogram structures, as predicted by a computational study. Detailed structural information of the new MONs was obtained by optical (UV/vis) spectroscopy, ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and synchrotron X-ray reflectivity (XRR). Notably, the XPS elemental composition indicates the formation of a palladium coordination-based network.
