Route 1: Electrochemical

SI p.S2 · Synthesis of PMC-3-Br

Metal precursorsZnBr2 (130 mg, 0.58 mmol)
Linker precursorsNDI-py (20 mg, 0.0476 mmol)
Solvents5 mL N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA)
Additives30 uL pure water
AtmosphereElectrocrystallisation in ambient atmosphere; product dried in N2 atmosphere.
TemperatureRoom temperature
Time48
Substrate orientation0.3 mm diameter Pt-Ir alloy wire cathode/anode, 80:20 Pt:Ir.
Oxidant / reductantConstant direct current of 30 uA; electrochemical reduction generates NDI.- species.
Work-upCrystals isolated from cathode, washed with DMA and ethanol, then dried in N2 atmosphere.
ActivationNo separate activation reported; compound rapidly loses some solvent during drying.
Scalability contextSmall single-crystal electrocrystallisation; no scale-up demonstrated.
