title: AlF.1,4-benzenedicarboxylate: synthesis and absorption properties.
abstract: AlF(bdc), bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, a new member of the family of MX(bdc) compounds has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions. It is formed without H(2)bdc in the channels and substantial absorption capacity is observed in its as-synthesized form. AlF(bdc) does not absorb water at ambient temperatures and shows absorption properties similar to VO(bdc).
