The first pillared three-dimensional structure constructed by carboxylate ligands bridging heterometallic trilayers
Abstract
Reaction of an aqueous solution of Na2bpdc (H2bpdc = biphenyldicarboxylic acid) with an organic solution of Co(NO3)2via a diffusion route leads to a pillared three-dimensional structure in which the heterometallic sodium(I)–cobalt(II) trilayers are connected by carboxylate groups of the pillared ligand bpdc2−.
