The desolvated (3,24)-connected metal–organic framework (MOF) material, MFM-160a, [Cu3(L)(H2O)3] [H6L = 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-tris(aminophenyl-4-isophthalic acid)], exhibits excellent high-pressure uptake of CO2 (110 wt% at 20 bar, 298 K) and highly selective separation C2 hydrocarbons from CH4 1 bar pressure. Henry’s law selectivities 79:1 for C2H2:CH4 70:1 C2H4:CH4 K are observed, consistent w...

Five new metal complexes, {[Ni(DIDP)(m-bdc)(H2O)]·5H2O}n (1), {[Zn(DIDP)(hfipbb)]·2DMA}n (2), {[Zn(DIDP)(4,4'-sdb)]·H2O}n (3), {[Co(DIDP)(p-bdc)]}n (4), and {[Co2(DIDP)(hfipbb)2]·H2O}n (5), have been synthesized by reactions of the corresponding metal ions with a V-shaped ligand 2,8-di(1H-imidazol-1-yl)dibenzothiophene (DIDP) and different aromatic dicarboxylic acids, namely isophthalic acid (m...

Wholly aromatic thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCPs) are an important class of high-performance materials, which offer a combination of excellent thermal and mechanical properties. TLCPs can be processed from the nematic melt into high-modulus fibers, films and molded articles. However, despite their all-aromatic composition, main-chain TLCPs exhibit low glass transition temperature...

A convenient, fast and selective water analysis method is highly desirable in industrial and detection processes. Here a robust microporous Zn-MOF (metal-organic framework, Zn(hpi2cf)(DMF)(H2O)) is assembled from a dual-emissive H2hpi2cf (5-(2-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4,5-bis(4-fluorophenyl)-1H-imidazol-1-yl)isophthalic acid) ligand that exhibits characteristic excited state intramolecular pr...

Hydrothermal reaction of a tripodal bridging ligand, 5-(4-carboxyphenoxy)isophthalic acid (H3cpia) with cobalt salts modulated by N-donor neutral ligands leads to the formation of six novel coordination networks formulated as {[Co(1.5)(cpia)(o-bix)](H2O)(1.5)}n (1), {[Co2(cpia)(μ-OH)(m-bix)]H2O}n (2), {[Co(1.5)(cpia)(m-bix)]}n (3), {[Co(1.5)(cpia)(p-bix)(0.5)(H2O)]H2O}n (4), {[Co(2.5)(cpia)(Hcp...

In the title proton-transfer organic salt, C5H6.3N5 (+)·C8H4.7O4 (-)·C3H7NO, the adeninium moiety is protonated at the N atom in the 1-position of the 6-amino-7H-purin-1-ium (adeninium) cation. In the solid state, the second acidic proton of isophthalic acid is partially transferred to the imidazole N atom of the adeninium cation [refined O-H versus N-H ratio = 0.70 (11):0.30 (11)]. Through the...

Two new Co(II) coordination polymers with a pyridinedicarboxylate ligand, {[Co(L)(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n) (1) and [Co(3)(HCOO)(2)(L)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n) (2) (H(2)L = 5-(pyridin-4-yl)isophthalic acid), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR, XRPD, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structure analyses show that complex 1 has a two-dimensional (2D) double-layered ...
