Noncovalent supramolecular assembly of hexagonally ordered mesoscale Prussian blue analogue

Abstract

A new mesostructured Prussian blue analogue was obtained through a noncovalent templating by cetylpyridinium bromide in formamide in the presence of Co 2+ linking ions. This phase possesses a hexagonally ordered mesostructure with a framework based on the [Fe(CN) 6] 3- anions linked by Co 2+ ions which was noncovalently templated with cetylpyridinium cations. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
