Iodine Release and Recovery, Influence of Polyiodide Anions on Electrical Conductivity and Nonlinear Optical Activity in an Interdigitated and Interpenetrated Bipillared-Bilayer Metal–Organic Framework

{[Cu6(pybz)8(OH)2]·I5(–)·I7(–)}n (1), obtained hydrothermally by using iodine molecules as a versatile precursor template, consists of a cationic framework with two types of zigzag channels, which segregate I5(–) and I7(–) anions. The framework exhibits the first observed bipillared-bilayer structur... View More
