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?
The discussion centers on the stability of Hexaminotriphenylene (HITP) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) when substituting transition metals with magnesium (Mg). Participants note that while metals like chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), rhodium (Rh), osmium (Os), and iridium (Ir) are transition elements, magnesium lacks this characteristic, raising concerns about the stability of the resulting compound. The consensus indicates that the square planar configuration typical of HITP MOFs is not compatible with magnesium, further questioning its viability as a substitute.
