Two-dimensional {Co(3+)-Zn2+} and {Co(3+)-Cd2+} networks and their applications in heterogeneous and solvent-free ring opening reactions.

We report the synthesis and structural characterization of two-dimensional {Co(3+)-Zn(2+)} and {Co(3+)-Cd(2+)} heterobimetallic networks and their catalytic applications in heterogeneous and solvent-free ring opening reactions of various epoxides.
