A New Open Metal-Organic Framework [Zn_8(GeO_4)(C_8H_4O_4)_6]_n, Constructed by Heterometallic Cluster Zn_8(GeO_4) Secondary Building Units

摘要

A new interpenetrating three dimensional open metal-organic framework [Zn_8(GeO_4)(C_8H_4O_4)_6]_n, constructed by Zn_8(GeO_4) secondary building units is reported. It is a rare example of metal-organic frameworks based on the heterometallic cluster secondary building units. Thermogravimetric analysis shows that it is thermally stable up to 320 deg C.
