Oxozinc carboxylates: a predesigned platform for modelling prototypical Zn-MOFs' reactivity toward water and donor solvents.
Two unique adducts of an oxozinc carboxylate cluster with H(2)O and THF were isolated and structurally characterized, [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(O(2)CR)(6)(H(2)O)(THF)]·2(THF) and [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(O(2)CR')(6)(THF)(3)] (where R = benzoate and R' = 9-antracenecarboxylate anion). The study shows that the zinc centers of the Zn(4)O core can easily form unique coordination environments without breaking of the Zn-O(carboxylate) bonds.
