title: New open frameworks based on metal pyridylphosphonates.
abstract: A family of new 1D, 2D, and 3D coordination networks based on metal-pyridylphosphonates have been synthesized under hydro(solvo)thermal conditions. Zn(3-pyridylphosphonate)(bromide), 1, adopts a 1D ladder structure, while Co(4-pyridylphosphonate)(H(2)O)(3), 2, adopts a 2D grid structure. [Cu(2)(4-pyridylphosphonate)(2)]-2H(2)O, 3, [Cd(3-pyridylphosphonate)(2)]-DMSO, 4, Cd(4-pyridylphosphonate)(2), 5, and Cd(ethyl 4-pyridylphosphonate)(2), 6, all adopt 3D framework structures. While 3 possesses open channels that are occupied by water molecules, 4 exhibits cavities that accommodate DMSO guest molecules. The present work demonstrates that interesting open frameworks can be readily synthesized on the basis of metal pyridylphosphonates.
