Size-controlled crystalline nanocubic coordination polymer particles from chiral Zn-salen and Co(II) have been obtained. PXRD patterns show that these particles have an identical unit cell regardless of a wide range of size distributions. Furthermore, cubic particles with epitaxial layers have been obtained with a simple manipulation during the synthesis.
Graphical abstractCrystalline nanocubic coordination polymer particles (CPPs) ranged from 100 nm to 1 μm have been obtained from chiral Zn-salen and Co(II). Their crystallinities are identified by PXRD patterns. Furthermore, cubic particles with epitaxial layers have been obtained with a simple synthetic manipulation.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch highlights► New class of chiral dipyridyl Zn-salen based nanocubic coordination polymer particles has been synthesized with Co(II). ► The size of nanocubics has been controlled from 100 nm to 1 μm. ► PXRD patterns show that these particles have an identical unit cell regardless of a wide range of size distributions. ► Epitaxial growth of extra layers on cubic particles has been demonstrated. ►Nanocubics are microporous materials which follow a type I isotherm.
