Metal-containing clusters have attracted increasing attention over the past 2–3 decades.
This intense interest can be attributed to the fact that these discrete metal aggregates, whose …

Prussian blue, Fe III 4 [Fe II (CN) 6] 3· nH 2 O (n= 14∼ 16), is one of the most classical mixed-
valence complexes and was used as pigments. Combinations of different metal ions lead to …

This study aimed to investigate the adsorption behaviors of congo red (CR) and methyl
orange (MO) on the coordination cluster Zn 5 (H 2 L n) 6 (NO 3) 4 (Zn 5, H 3 L n= 1, 2-bis …
