A Zn(ii) metal–organic framework with dinuclear [Zn2(N-oxide)2] secondary building units†
Abstract
We report the synthesis, structural characterisation, and adsorption properties of a three-dimensional metal–organic framework [Zn(pydcao)(DMF)] (H2-pydcao = 3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid N-oxide) that has an unprecedented [Zn2(N-oxide)2] secondary building unit.
