title: Novel iso-reticular Zn(II) metal-organic frameworks constructed by trinuclear-triangular and paddle-wheel units: synthesis, structure and gas adsorption.
abstract: Two novel Zn(II) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed by trinuclear-triangular and paddle-wheel units, namely {[Zn(5)(dmtrz)(3)(IPA)(3)(OH)]·DMF·H(2)O}(n) (MAC-4, Hdmtrz = 3,5-dimethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, H(2)IPA = isophthalic acid, DMF = dimethyl formamide) and {[Zn(5)(dmtrz)(3)(OH-IPA)(3)(OH)]·DMF·5H(2)O}(n) (MAC-4-OH, OH-H(2)IPA = 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid), were solvothermally synthesized. Single-crystal analyses reveal that MAC-4-OH is an iso-reticular framework of MAC-4 with channels functionalized by hydroxyl groups. Gas adsorption reveals that MAC-4-OH shows a significant enhancement for CO(2) uptake compared with that of MAC-4 due to the existence of electrostatic attractive interactions, though its surface area is lower than that of MAC-4.
