A 2D Metal-Organic Framework with a Flexible Cyclohexane-1,2,5,6-tetracarboxylic Acid Ligand: Synthesis, Characterization and Photoluminescent Property.

ABSTRACT: A novel metal-organic framework, [Zn(2)(OH)(Hcht)(4,4'-bpy)](n).4nH(2)O (1) (H(4)cht = cyclohexane-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of Zn(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O, 4,4'-bipyridine, and cyclohexane-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid in the presence of sodium carbonate. The complex was obtained by controlling the ratio of the starting materials and a reaction temperature at 120 degrees C and was characterized by IR, X-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, fluorescent spectrum, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal X-ray investigation reveals that the structure features a two-dimensional framework with novel coordination mode of Hcht ligand and all Hcht ligands exclusively convert to a sole conformation i
