Novel infinite hexanuclear zinc coordination polymer with a flexible bipyridyl ligand and its catalytic activity

摘要

The reaction of Zn(OTf)_2 with l,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane results in a novel infinite hexanuclear coordination polymer,[Zn_6(OH)_8{(NC_5H_4)_2C3H,5}4](OTf)_4 centre dot 3H_2O,which was found to carry out the catalytic transesterification of esters with methanol at room temperature under the mild homogeneous conditions.
