Accessing water processable cyanido bridged chiral heterobimetallic Co()-Fe() one dimensional network

A water processable cyanido bridged extended chiral heterobimetallic Co( ii )-Fe( iii ) network is assembled. The unusual water processability of the coordination polymer originates from dangling hydrophilic substituents. The present approach offers a simple route to impart solution processability to cyanido bridged molecular magnetic materials. A simple approach to impart water processability in cyanido bridged extended structures are described. A chiral cyanido bridged Co( ii )-Fe( iii ) extended structure is assembled and its water processability is demonstrated.
