Multicomponent self-assembly of a pentanuclear Ir–Zn heterometal–organic polyhedron for carbon dioxide fixation and sulfite sequestration

Abstract

By incorporating a fac-tris(4-(2-pyridinyl)phenylamine)iridium as the backbone of the tripodal ligand to constrain the coordination geometry of Zn(II) ions, a pentanuclear Ir–Zn heterometal–organic luminescent polyhedron was obtained via a subcomponent self-assembly for carbon dioxide fixation and sulfite sequestration.
