“…Tetranuclear coordination complex [Li 2 Co 2 (piv) 6 (py) 2 ] (1) was synthesized by a reaction of lithium pivalate salt Li(piv), polymeric amorphous [Co(piv) 2 ] n and pyridine in equimolar ratio in a mixture of CH 3 CN and THF. This synthetic methodic is similar to that for previously reported [Li 2 M 2 (piv) 6 ] (M = Ni, Co, Zn) complexes [30][31][32]. The compound 1 crystallizes in triclinic space group P−1 (Fig.…”
Rational synthesis of heterometallic MOFs was carried out by the judicious choice of pivalate complexes and a tricarboxylate linker defining their dimensionality.
