We report four-coordinate nickel( ii )-methyl complexes of tris-carbene borate ligands which adopt rare seesaw geometries. Experimental and computational results suggest the structural distortion from threefold symmetry results from a combination of electronic stabilization of the singlet state, strong field donors, and constrained angles from the chelating ligand.more » « less

Abstract The emergence of conductive 2D and less commonly 3D coordination polymers (CPs) and metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) promises novel applications in many fields. However, the synthetic parameters for these electronically complex materials are not thoroughly understood. Here we report a new 3D semiconducting CP
Fe5(C6O6)3 , which is a fusion of 2D Fe‐semiquinoid materials and 3D cubicFe x (C6O6) y S 2σ=7.0×10−9 W m−1 K−2), and strong antiferromagnetic interactions at room temperature. This material illustrates how controlling the oxidation states of redox‐active components in conducting CPs/MOFs can be a “pre‐synthetic” strategy to carefully tune material topologies and properties in contrast to more commonly encountered post‐synthetic modifications. -
