Abstract

Abstract : Water stable and functional coordination polymers can be prepared by appropriate selection of hydrophobic linkers. Abstract : A new unsymmetric carborane-based dicarboxylic linker provided a 1D Cu2 -paddle wheel coordination polymer (2 ) with much higher hydrolytic stability than the corresponding 2D Cu2 -paddle wheel polymer (1 ), obtained from a related more symmetrical carborane-based linker. Both 1 and 2 were used as efficient heterogeneous catalysts for a model aza-Michael reaction but only 2 can be reused several times without significant degradation in catalytic activity.
