An acentric 3-D metal–organic framework with threefold interpenetrated diamondoid network: second-harmonic-generation response, potential ferroelectric property and photoluminescence

Abstract

An excellent one-center-acceptor–donor ligand, 2-aminoisonicotinic acid, was successfully employed to obtain an acentric 3-D metal–organic framework, which exhibits a unique threefold interpenetrated diamondoid network, second-harmonic-generation response, potential ferroelectric behaviors and photoluminescence.
