Co5In(BTC)4[B2O4(OH)]2: the first MOF material constructed by borate polyanions and carboxylate mixed ligands†
Abstract
A novel heterometallic organic–inorganic hybrid MOF material, Co5In(BTC)4[B2O4(OH)]2, has been synthesized under ionothermal conditions. Its structure is characterized as a 3D open framework constructed by the Co2.5In0.5[B2O4(OH)] cluster and the 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate ligand. Furthermore, its fluorescent and adsorption properties have also been studied.
