The complex was characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction, FT-IR, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, thermogravimetric, differential scanning calorimetric, magnetic susceptibility, and electronic paramagnetic resonance analyses. The X-ray crystal diffraction analysis indicated that each copper ion was bound at an equatorial position to four oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups of the 4-vinylbenzoate ligand in a square-based pyramidal geometry. The distance between the copper ions was 2.640(9) Å. The acetonitrile molecules were coordinated at the axial position to the copper ions. Exposure of the Cu(II) complex to humid air promoted the gradual replacement of the coordinated acMaterials (Basel, Switzerland)4866https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10343663biostudies-literatureSynthesis and Characterization of a New Cu(II) Paddle-Wheel-like Complex with 4-Vinylbenzoate as an Inorganic Node for Metal-Organic Framework Material Design.PMC10343663Bivian-Castro EYEscudero RCastaneda-Contreras JGomez-Vidal VSegoviano-Garfias JJNSaavedra-Arroyo QEFlores-Alamo MfalseSynthesis and Characterization of a New Cu(II) Paddle-Wheel-like Complex with 4-Vinylbenzoate as an Inorganic Node for Metal-Organic Framework Material Design.A new Cu(II) paddle-wheel-like complex with 4-vinylbenzoate was synthesized using acetonitrile as the solvent.
