Solvent-Tuned Azido-Bridged Co²⁺ Layers: Square, Honeycomb, and <i>Kagomé</i>

Abstract

Three azido-bridged Co2+ complexes with square, honeycomb, and Kagomé layered structures were synthesized and structurally characterized. Crystallization solvents are found to be critical in generating the observed topologies. These structurally related complexes are of significance in studying two-dimensional antiferromagnetism and geometric frustration.
