“…Thus, it is essential that ligands with high bridging capability that have the potential to lead to species with unprecedented metal topologies and/or high nuclearity SBUs be introduced into this field; to this purpose, we decided to use 2-pyridyl oximes for the isolation and characterization of new MOFs and coordination polymers. 2-pyridyl oximes is a family of ligands that have been extensively used in metal cluster chemistry due to their ability to bridge a large number of metal ions and, often, promote ferromagnetic interactions between the metal centers [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ]. Although the use of such ligands has led to significant breakthroughs in the areas of single-molecule and single-chain magnetism, they have never been employed for MOF synthesis [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ].…”
