Summary: | The materials under study,
T[Ni(CN)
4]·2pyz with
T=Mn, Zn, Cd, were prepared by separation of
T[Ni(CN)
4] layers in citrate aqueous solution to allow the intercalation of the pyrazine molecules. The obtained solids were characterized from chemical analyses, X-ray diffraction, infrared, Raman, thermogravimetry, UV–Vis, magnetic and adsorption data. Their crystal structure was solved from
ab initio using direct methods and then refined by the Rietveld method. A unique coordination for pyrazine to metal centers at neighboring layers was observed. The pyrazine molecule is found forming a bridge between Ni and
T atoms, quite different from the proposed structures for
T=Fe, Ni where it remains coordinated to two
T atoms to form a vertical pillar between neighboring layers. The coordination of pyrazine to both Ni and
T atoms minimizes the material free volume and leads to form a hydrophobic framework. On heating the solids remain stable up to 140
°C. No CO
2 and H
2 adsorption was observed in the small free spaces of their frameworks.
