Inducing Piezoelectric Behavior in Copper Iodide Cubane Cluster-Based Metal-Organic Framework via Linker Engineering

Cu4 I4 cubane-type secondary building units are reticulated with a piperazine linker at room temperature to crystallize the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Cu4 I4 (Pip)2 in a non-centrosymmetric P62 22 space group. For the first...
