Three-Dimensional Metal-Organic Polymer of Multivalent Hexaphenylbenzene

摘要

Metal-Organic Frameworks(MOFs) synthesized from ligands more than ten co-ordinating sites may offer material applications due to their structural architecture.Herein,a synthesis of metal-organic framework is reported from a ligand featuring 12-aryl carboxylic acid groups appended on a hexaphenylbenzene and s-block element potassium.The synthesized MOF was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis,infrared spectroscopy and X-diffraction studies.The X-ray crystal structure of MOF was shown to have a significant number of trapped and coordinated water molecules in its three-dimensional framework.
