Employing achiral organic amines (2-methylbenzimidazole and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) as the structure-directing agent and ligand, two chiral zincophosphites, [Zn(C(8)H(8)N(2))(HPO(3))] 1 and (C(6)H(13)N(2))[Zn(3)(C(6)H(12)N(2))(HPO(3))(3)(H(2)PO(3))] 2, have been hydro(solvo)-thermally synthesized, crystallizing in the chiral space group P2(1)2(1)2(1). Single-crystal structural analysis r...

Catenation, in the form of interpenetrating and interweaving,[1] has been a major concern in the design of low-density (porous) structures due to the following widely held beliefs: a) the use of long links for the design of frameworks with large pores results in catenated structures and thus small pores, b) highly catenated frameworks typically have low porosity ( 20%), and c) catenation contri...

A new trinuclear Zn (II) complex, [Zn3(L1)4(L2)2(CH3COO)2] (1) (HL1 = 6-phenylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid, L2 bis(4-pyridyl)amine) has been synthesized by NaOH, bis(4-pyridyl)amine and Zn(CH3COO)2•2H2O. The complex 1 also structural characterized elemental analysis single crystal X-ray diffraction. results reveals that is made up of three Zn(II) ions, four L1 ligands, two ligands CH3COO- anions....

A combination of 4-styrylpyridine (spy) and 1-adamantanecarboxylic acid (Hadc) was employed in the assembly reactions with Zn(II) Cu(II) nitrates. The photoreactivity products compared discussed on basis structure–function relationship. Zinc(II) complex 1 is a trinuclear species type [Zn3(spy)2(adc)6] which three zinc(II) atoms are linearly arranged, two adjacent linked by bridging carboxylates...

Open-framework zinc phosphates with one-dimensional ladder structures are shown to transform, under simple reaction conditions, to twoand three-dimensional structures. Thus, the one-dimensional ladder, [C6N4H22]0.5[Zn(HPO4)2], I, on heating with piperazine in aqueous solution gives a layer phosphate, [C4N2H12][Zn2(PO4)2], III, and the three-dimensional phosphates [C2N2H10]0.5[Zn(PO4)], IV, [C6N...

Zero-dimensional 4-membered zinc phosphate monomers, [C6N2H18][Zn(HPO4)(H2PO4)2], I, and [C6N4H21][Zn(HPO4)2(H2PO4)], II, transform under simple reaction conditions to one-, twoand threedimensional structures. Monomer II, on heating with zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(OAc)2) in aqueous solution, gives a layered phosphate [C6N4H21][NH4][Zn6(PO4)4(HPO4)2]H2O, III. A novel three-dimensional structure ...
