Synthesis and Characterization of a Zinc(II) Complex with Mixed 4-Hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic Acid and 1,3-Bis(4-pyridyl)propane Tectons.

The metal-organic framework {[Zn2(CAM)(μ2-OH)(bpp)] ·2H2O} n ( 1) [H3CAM = 4-hydroxypyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane], was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 presents a three dimensional self-penetrating 8-connected framework with the Schläfli symbol 420.53.65. In addition, the fluorescent properties and thermal stability of 1 were discussed as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
