Metal–organic frameworks of p-hydroxybenzoic acid: synthesis, structure and ring opening polymerization capability
Two new, isostructural, MOFs {[Co(O2CC6H4O)(DMF)]2}n and {[Mn(O2CC6H4O)(DMF)]2}n have been synthesised and structurally characterized. Their use as catalysts in the ROP of ε-caprolactone or δ-valerolactone produces mostly cyclic products.
