Two isostructural transition-metal (TM) triphosphonates decorated with neutral rigid N-containing ligands 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (tib), [Zn(L1)(tib)]·8HO (1) and [Co(L1)(tib)]·9HO (2) (HL1 = N(CHPOH)), nitrilotris(methylenephosphonic acid), have been solvothermally prepared and structurally characterized by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal/powder X-ray diffraction. The title compounds exhibit a pillar-layer structure with the TM-triphosphonates as layers and the rigid tib ligand as a pillar. The luminescence and magnetic properties have been investigated. Compound 1 exhibits intense blue luminescence, while compound 2 shows weak ferromagnetic behaviour.
We report herein a 3D interrupted beryllium phosphite open-framework with a low density (1.594 g cm−3), which is the first case of a beryllium phosphite framework containing extra-large 18-ring channels.
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.
