Influence of the metal radius on the dimensionality of hydrogen-bonded metal supramolecular frameworks in the metal/p-BDTH2 (1,4-benzeneditetrazol-5-yl) reaction system

The reaction of Mn(NO3)2·6H2O and Ce(NO3)3·6(H2O) with p-BDTH2 (1,4-benzeneditetrazol-5-yl) leads to a two dimensional (2D) [Mn(H2O)6](p-BDTH)2·2H2O (1) and a three dimensional (3D) [Ce(H2O)8.64](p-BDT)(p-BDTH)·6H2O (2) hydrogen-bonded frameworks, respectively. The topological description of the metal supramolecular architectures reveals a binodal (3,6) net with topological type kgd for 1 and a rare binodal (4,8) net with topological type scu for 2.
