Two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with one-dimensional channels were successfully synthesized from the reactions of flexible paraffinic polycarboxylate with Zn(NO 3 ) 2 and CeCl 3 , respectivelyWith similar reaction conditions, reactions of the same organic ligand with different metals selected from different blocks (d-block and f-block) result in different coordination modes of carboxylate groups and final frameworks of 1 and 2. It is interesting that pores in 1 and 2 exhibit different behaviors to sodium cation, showing unique properties of MOFs based on flexible ligands.
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.
