Title: A new zinc-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate framework integrated three distinct subunits (SBUs)

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry

A new metal-organic framework (MOF) [Zn₅(btc)₃(H₂O)₀.₅(O)₀.₅(DMA)₃]·1.75(DMA) (1; btc=1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate; DMA=N,N´-dimethyl acetamide) has been solvothermally synthesized. Unusually, three distinct subunits (SBUs), [Zn₂(CO₂)₄(DMA)₂], [(μ₃-H₂O)Zn₃(CO₂)₆(DMA)] and [(µ₄-O)Zn₄(CO₂)₆(DMA)₂] are observed in 1 simultaneously. The integration of three distinct SBUs leads to an interesting Zn-btc framework materials with unusual structural topology. - Graphical abstract: Presented here is a new zinc-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate framework integrated three distinct subunits (SBUs). - Highlights: • A new zinc-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate framework has been synthesized. • Three distinct subunits (SBUs) are observed in 1 simultaneously. • The integration of three distinct SBUs leads to an unusual structural topology.
