title: A spin-canted Ni(II)4-based metal-organic framework with gas sorption properties and high adsorptive selectivity for light hydrocarbons.
abstract: The reaction of nickel(II) nitrate with isonicotinic acid and 2,6-dimethyl-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid affords a novel, tetranuclear nickel(II)-based metal-organic framework that exhibits spin-canted antiferromagnetism with a canted angle of 1.65° and high adsorptive selectivity for light hydrocarbons.
