Three-dimensional metal–organic frameworks constructed from bix and 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylate†
Abstract
Two new metal–organic complexes [Cd1.5(btrc)(bix)]n (1) and [Zn2(btrc)(Hbtrc)0.5(bix)2]n(2) (H3btrc = 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylate; bix = 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)-benzene) have been hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by
