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 'Flash Joule Heating (FJH) Method for treating process waste streams'

I caught the tail end of a video about a new application for treating chemical or process waste, which is applied to 'red' mud or contaminated bauxite residue, but the person of interest mention recovering critical minerals from consumer electronics, as well as treating mine tailings and processing ores of rare earth elements. What I found so far is the following: New electrical flash method rapidly purifies red mud into strong ceramics, aluminum feedstock...
