A Sodalite‐like Framework Based on Octacyanomolybdate and Neodymium with Guest Methanol Molecules and Neodymium Octahydrate Ions

Abstract

Heavy-metal sodalite: NdIII reacts with [MoV(CN)8]3− in methanol to form a new 3D framework consisting of cyanide-bridged NdIII and MoIV ions. The anionic framework (red and blue in the picture) has a cage structure similar to that of the zeolite sodalite and contains hexagonal channels filled by methanol molecules and [NdIII(H2O)8]3+ ions (green spheres).
