In the title compound, [Cu(CH3COO)2(C9H8N2O)2] n , the CuII ion resides on a centre of inversion, displaying a tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedral coordination environment defined by two pairs of N and O atoms of symmetry-related 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenol ligands and the O atoms of two symmetry-related acetate ligands. The bridging mode of the 4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)phenol ligands is associated w...

An optimized procedure was designed for the preparation of the microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) [Cu3(btc)2] (BTC=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate). The crystalline material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, N2 sorption, thermogravimetry, and IR spectroscopy of adsorbed CO. CO adsorbs on a small number of Cu2O impurities, and ...
