A Cu(ii)-MOF based on a propargyl carbamate-functionalized isophthalate ligand.

ABSTRACT: A copper-based metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared using a new linker, a 5-substituted isophthalic acid bearing a propargyl carbamate group, intended to provide a terminal alkyne function protruding from the material surface to generate supported gold species for potential catalytic applications. The novel material was fully characterized by spectroscopic analyses of different kinds: FTIR, Raman, EDX, and XPS, as well as by thermal and surface area measurements. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction data analysis, in particular, revealed that this MOF, labelled [Cu(1,3-YBDC)]·xH₂O (x ∼ 2), where Y stands for the pendant alkYne and BDC for benzene dicarboxylate, contains a complex network of 5-substituted isophthalate anions bound to Cu(ii) centers, arranged in pairs
