Reaction-condition-controlled formation of secondary-building-units in three cadmium metal–organic frameworks with an orthogonal tetrakis(tetrazolate) ligand
摘要:
Three metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been isolated using an orthogonal tetrakis(tetrazolate) ligand, ttbf (the tetra-anion of 2,2',7.7'-tetrakis(2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-9,9'-spirobi[fluorene], H(4)ttbf). These three MOFs were constructed using only (ttbf)(4-) and Cd2+ by changing metal:ligand ratio, solvent, and source of anions. MOF 3 contains a very rare square-planar Cd-4 cluster bridged by a mu(4)-Cl atom. MOFs 1 and 3 have saturated metal centers prior to drying and do not thermally decompose until 315 degrees C. MOF 2, however, has an unsaturated metal center prior to drying and its thermal-decomposition temperature is around 250 degrees C. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
