Elucidating phase transformation of Eu-based metal organic framework with intermediate isolation and theoretical calculations

Abstract

Self assembly between 2,5-difluoro-3,6-dimercaptoterephthalic acid (H4dfdmt) and Eu(III) centers under solvothermal conditions gave a 3D reddish-brown metal-organic framework (MOF, Eu-dfdmt-RB) which managed to transit to a 2D black analogue (Eu-dfdmt-B)...
