Visual Synchronous Exchange of Metal Nodes and Counteranions Constituting a Cobalt(II) Coordination Polymer
A solid-state simultaneous exchange of metal nodes and counteranions based on a cobalt(2+) coordination polymer is reported for the first time. The ion-exchange process is visual, and the structural integrity of the cobalt(2+) coordination polymer is maintained during the ion-exchange process.
