Coexistence of sorption behavior and magnetic property in heterometallic cluster-based frameworks

Based on the Bifunctional Method, a new heterometallic cluster-based framework (FJI-7) with the coexistence of Cu4I4 cluster and binuclear [(Dy)2(COO)3(DMF)2], has been successfully synthesized and structurally characterized. This FJI-7 structure exhibits a 3-dimensional framework with Lewis basic pyridinyl sites and magnetic centre simultaneously. Additionally, its sorption behavior and magnetic property are also investigated.
