Two 2D (M1 and M2) and one 1D (M3) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been prepared from pyridine functionalized tetradentate ligand tetrakis(nicotinoxymethyl)methane TNM with silver tetrafluoroborate, nickel chloride, and copper hexafluorophosphate. M1 manifests a previously unpresented mode of 4,4 threefold parallel interpenetration for 2D MOFs. Large channels (vdW diameter 9.4 Å) through eclipsed 2D layers of M2 were observed. While the open space percentage in the noninterpenetrated M2 was 38.0 %,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
