Mesitylene Tribenzoic Acid as a Linker for Novel Zn/Cd Metal-Organic Frameworks.

ABSTRACT: Three new Metal-Organic Frameworks, containing mesitylene tribenzoic acid as a linker and zinc (1) or cadmium as metals (2,3), were synthesized through solvothermal reactions, using DMF/ethanol/water as solvents, at temperatures of 80 °C (structures 1 and 3) and 120 °C (structure 2). Following single-crystal X-ray diffraction, it was found that 1 and 3 crystallize in the P2₁/c and C2/c space groups and form 2D networks, while 2 crystallizes in the Fdd2 space group, forming a 3D network. All three frameworks, upon heating, were found to be stable up to 350 °C. N₂ sorption isotherms revealed that 1 displays a BET area of 906 m²/g. Moreover, the porosity of this f
