Solvothermal syntheses and structural characterization of a series of metal–hydroxycarboxylate coordination polymers

A novel porous network with interpenetrating topology

“…Calculations from the X-ray structural parameters show that the solvent-accessible void space in the channels is approximately 45% [15]. If, for reasons of classifying the net, the bpp molecule can be defined as a single point of connection to Co, then both Co atoms are depicted as four-connected nodes [16], as shown in figure 3. The aggregation of the building blocks results in a 3D framework, and the 3D nets interlock with each other displaying a four-fold interpenetrating mode.…”

“…Recently, a variety of pyridyl-donor ligands have been widely employ to construct coordination polymers with intriguing topologies and unexpected properties (Biradha et al, 2006;Liu et al, 2008;Hernández-Ahuactzi et al, 2008;Ma, Wang, Hu et al, 2009). 4,4′-dipyridyl disulfide (bpds) is a bipyridyl-type ligand with a twisted structuret.…”

“…An enormous effort has been devoted to the development of new homochiral coordination polymer duo to their the possibility of applications to enantioselective separation, catalytic processes and magneto-optical processes (Kitagawa et al, 2004;Ma et al, 2007;Liu et al, 2008;Gelbrich et al, 2006)). L-tartaric acid, a simple and inexpensive chiral ligand source, was often used to construct novel chiral multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (McCann et al,1997;Zhang et al, 2003).…”
