A series of high molecular weight copolyesters were prepared from isophthalic acid, 1,4butane diol and sebacic acid/ adipic acid through a two step process of melt polycondensation using titanium tetra butoxide as catalyst. The synthesised random copolyesters were characterised by means of IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), viscosity measurements, differential scanning ca...

A metal-organic framework [Cd(dppip)]n (1) based on 5-(diphenylphosphino)isophthalic acid (H2dppip) has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography. [Cd(dppip)]n shows a sheet structure owing to carboxylate bridging with windows with dimensions 10.692× 9.325 Å2. The layers are further connected through P–Cd interactions to ...

A new luminescent Zn-MOF has been synthesized under hydrothermal condition using a semi-rigid ligand H3pcoip (4-(2-carboxyphenoxy)isophthalic acid) is reported. The luminescence properties of 1 in methanol, ethanol, and water have been investigated. Interestingly, compound 1 has a unique response to methanol compared to ethanol and water. Moreover, 1 displays a turn-on switching property trigge...

The aromatic rings of the N,N'-dioxide molecule in the title compound, C(8)H(4)NI(3)O(4)·C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2)·H(2)O, are twisted by 14.0 (2)°. The -CO(2)H substituents of the 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalic acid are twisted by 83.0 (2) and 86.5 (2)° out of the plane of the aromatic ring. In the crystal, the three components are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. An ...

In the title compound, {[Nd(C(14)H(9)N(2)O(5))(C(14)H(8)N(2)O(5))]·2H(2)O}(n), the Nd(III) atom is eight-coordinated as it is surrounded by eight carboxyl-ate O atoms from six ligands in a distorted square-anti-prismatic arrangement. The Nd(III) atoms are linked by HL(-) and L(2-) ligands [H(2)L is 5-(pyridine-4-carboxamido)-isophthalic acid], forming a bilayer network. The layers are linked in...

The afterglow of phosphorescent compounds can be distinguished from background fluorescence and scattered light by a time-resolved observation, which is a beneficial property for bioimaging. Phosphorescence emission accompanies spin-forbidden transitions from an excited singlet state through an excited triplet state to a ground singlet state. Since these intersystem crossings are facilitated us...

Geometric spin frustration occurs when the structural arrangement of spins precludes the simultaneous satisfaction of all nearestneighbor interactions.1,2 The corner-sharing equilateral triangles of a kagomé lattice present an excellent construct on which to study spin frustration; spin liquid physics can result when the kagomé lattice features S ) /2 spins on lattice vertices.3-5 However, comp...

The synthesis and applications of the first water-soluble benzene derivative bearing a set of three different and orthogonal bioconjugatable groups (aminooxy, azido and thiol) are described. The combined use of a 5-amino isophthalic acid scaffold and unusual acid-labile protecting groups for temporarily masking aminooxy and thiol moieties has enabled the development of a highly convergent appro...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C18H12O4·C2H6OS·2H2O, consists of four crystallographically independent mol-ecules of 5-(naphthalen-1-yl)isophthalic acid, two dimethyl sulfoxide and four water mol-ecules. The dihedral angles formed by the the planes of the aromatic fragments of the organic mol-ecules range from 57.4 (1) to 59.1 (1)°. In the crystal, multiple O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds lin...

Crystals of the title compound, C(16)H(12)N(2)O(4), were obtained accidentally from a hydro-thermal reaction of 5-[(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]isophthalic acid with manganese bromide in the presence of N,N'-dimethyl-formamide. In the title mol-ecule, the benzimidazole ring system is almost planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane of 0.010 (2) Å. The benzimidazole and central benze...
