What is the charge for Hexaminotriphenylene?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the potential replacement of transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Os, Ir) in the structure X3(HITP)2 with magnesium (Mg). Concerns about stability arise due to magnesium not being a transition metal, which may affect the structural integrity of the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The square planar configuration typical of HITP MOFs is not characteristic of magnesium compounds, further raising doubts about the feasibility of using Mg in this context. Overall, the consensus leans toward skepticism regarding the stability of magnesium in these structures compared to the transition metals.

I have seen the structures like X3 (HITP)2 (X = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Rh, Os, Ir). Can I replace X with Mg? Will it be stable?

No idea, but one thing definitely asks for attention: what does Mg miss, that all other metals listed have?
 
well, all the other elements are transition elements where as Mg is not.
 
Yep - that makes me doubt stability. But it is just a guess.
 
HITP MOFs are generally formed with metals in a square planar configuration, which isn’t found in magnesium compounds.
 

Thread 'Molecular-level explanation of macroscopic phenomena: dissolving'

What I know and please correct me: a macroscopic probe of raw sugar you can buy from the store can be modeled to be an almost perfect cube of a size of 0.7 up to 1 mm. Let's assume it was really pure, nothing else but a conglomerate of H12C22O11 molecules stacked one over another in layers with van de Waals (?) "forces" keeping them together in a macroscopic state at a temperature of let's say 20 degrees Celsius. Then I use 100 such tiny pieces to throw them in 20 deg water. I stir the...
