“…In terms of ligand design, considering the advantages of using triazine-functionalized polycarboxylic ligands to construct MOFs in the formation of a variety of topological structures and adsorption properties, we chose the semirigid triazine hexacarboxylic acid ligand H 6 TTHA (Scheme ). − On one hand, compared with the rigid tricarboxylic acid ligands, it has six flexible aminodiacetate arms, which may take a variety of geometric conformations, such as syn–syn , anti–anti , and syn–anti ; − it has six carboxyl groups that may take a more abundant coordination mode with the central metal, such as monodentate, bidentate, and monobidentate, bridging, chelating, etc., resulting in a more diverse topological structure. , On the other hand, it has abundant adsorption sites such as nitrogen-rich triazine ring-containing rich nitrogens, N of NH-, which is advantageous to adsorb specific guest molecules such as iodine to promote its adsorption. H 6 TTHA ligands and transition metal ions, alkali metal ions, alkaline earth metal ions, rare earth ions, and uranyl ions have been used to construct many MOFs with diverse topological structures and have exhibited significant application in the realms of luminescence, sensing, adsorption, etc. ,,− Bruce et al prepared seven homobimetallic or heterobimetallic complexes using H 6 TTHA and metal ions such as sodium, nickel, chromium, rhodium, zinc, and potassium in a one-pot method, which is the first time heterobimetallic complexes containing H 6 TTHA ligands have been correctly characterized .…”
