metal–organic material
formed from zero-valent metal nodes is presented. Combination of ditopic m-terphenyl diisocyanide, [CNArMes2]2, and the d10 Ni(0) precursor Ni(COD)2, produces
a porous metal–organic material featuring tetrahedral [Ni(CNArMes2)4]n structural
sites. X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides firm evidence for the
presence of Ni(0) centers, whereas gas-sorption and thermogravimetric
analysis reveal the characteristics of a robust network with a microdomain
N2-adsorption profile.
