Abstract

Abstract : A new strategy that combines the design elements of reticular synthesis and pillaring is proposed. Abstract : Two of the most successful strategies for the preparation of three-dimensional coordination polymers and MOFs are reticular synthesis and pillaring. Here we present a new approach which combines aspects of both of these by employing a heterofunctional dicarboxylic and dipyridyl ligand, 2, 5-di(pyridin-4-yl)terephthalic acid (H2 L ). The reaction of H2 L with zinc(ii ) produces a non-interpenetrated 3D coordination polymer [ZnL (H2 O)] n .
