3-D organic-inorganic hybrid architecture based on Tröger's Base: Synthesis, supramolecular structure, and aggregation-induced emission properties

A new organic-inorganic hybrid solid (DMDP)[Hg(SCN)4] based on Tröger's Base was designed and synthesized. Its crystal structure shows interesting interpenetrating architecture that 1-D inorganic anionic chains {[Hg(SCN)4]2-}∞ penetrates into 2-D organic (DMDP)2 + cationic network. The compound exhibits a typical aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property.227
