Syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of two unique Cu(ii)-based coordination polymers involving a crystal-to-crystal structural transformation from a 1D chain to a 3D network

Abstract

Promoted by the DMF solvent, the 1D chain structure of 1 can be irreversibly transformed into the 3D sod network structure of 2 in a crystal-to-crystal fashion, which is accompanied by a drastic magnetic change.
