Abstract

Abstract : A novel Fe(ii ) MOF is reported to show an unprecedented 1D chain with a perfect linearity. Moreover, this structure expands to a third dimension to form a very robust MOF. The structure displays an amazing resemblance to a 14th century mosaic found in the Alhambra Palace in Granada. Abstract : A novel extended triazole-based ligand (PM-Tria ) has been synthesized and an unprecedented MOF 3D has serendipitously been formed by assembling iron(ii ), PM-Tria ligand and fluoride anions. This MOF contains a perfectly linear one-dimensional {Fe(ii )–F} n bridging chain that shows an antiferromagnetic behaviour. Furthermore, the structure is compared with a 14th century mosaic found in the Alhambra Palace in Granada showing a surprising symmetry resemblance.
