title: Metal-organic frameworks derived from imidazolium dicarboxylates and group I and II salts.
abstract: A series of coordination polymers containing Group I or II metal ions, connected via an imidazolium-centered dicarboxylate ligand, have been isolated from water and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. All the structures incorporate water molecules that adopt a range of different structural motifs.
