title: Synthesis, structure, and Mössbauer study of [Fe(H2O)(2)(C(9)O(6)H4)].H2O: a two-dimensional iron(II) trimellitate (MIL-67).
abstract: The two-dimensional (2D) iron trimellitate [Fe(H(2)O)(2)(C(9)O(6)H(4))].H(2)O, labeled MIL-67, has been obtained under hydrothermal conditions (473 K, 48 h). In the 2D structure of MIL-67, the Fe(2+) ions display two different octahedral environments: [FeO(4)(H(2)O)(2)] and [FeO(2)(H(2)O)(4)]. These octahedra share an apical water molecule to form infinite chains. The chains are linked by partly deprotonated C(9)O(6)H(4)(2-) anions to give hybrid organic-inorganic layers; the remaining acidic-CO(2)H group is dangling in the interlayer space. Below 8(1) K, MIL-67 displays a canted antiferromagnetic behavior, according to analyses via magnetic measurements and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Crystal data for MIL-67 are as follows: triclinic; space group P1 (No. 2), with a = 6.9671(2) A, b = 7.3089(3) A, c = 12.5097(3) A, alpha = 78.758(1) degrees, beta = 89.542(2) degrees, and gamma = 65.197(1) degrees; volume V = 565.21(3) A(3); and Z = 2.
