title: Functionalization and Isoreticulation in a Series of Metal-Organic Frameworks Derived from Pyridinecarboxylates.
abstract: The partially fluorinated metal-organic frameworks (F-MOFs) have been constructed from 3-fluoro-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid and trans-3-fluoro-4-pyridineacrylic acid linkers using Mn(2+), Co(2+), and Cd(2+) metals via the solvothermal method, which show isostructural isomerism with their nonfluorinated counterparts synthesized using 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid and trans-4-pyridineacrylic acid, respectively. The simultaneous effect of partial fluorination and isoreticulation on structure and H2 adsorption has been studied systematically in isostructural nonfluorinated and partially fluorinated MOFs, which shows that the increment in the hydrogen uptake properties in F-MOFs is not a universal phenomenon but is rather system-specific and changes from one system to another.
