A zeolitic organo-metallophosphate hybrid material with bimodal porosity.
The first metal carboxylatophosphate, NTHU-2, contains inorganic ZnHPO4 layers linked by BDC units (BDC = 1,4-benzene dicarboxylate or terephthalic anion); the three-dimensional anionic framework has large pores with the smallest diameter being 1.36 nm; N2 sorption isotherms reveal both micro- and mesoporosity; the new material is photoluminescent and disassembles in water wherein the discharged organic fragments form mixed crystals.
