Abstract

A new three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF) {Zn 53-OH) 2(obb) 4[(CH 3) 2NH] 2}·2DMF (1; H 2obb = 4,4′-oxybisbenzoic acid; DMF = N,N′-dimethyl formamide) with unusual Zn 53-OH) 2(COO -) 8 secondary building units (SBUs) has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by the aid of single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Elemental analysis (EA) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR). The unprecedented pentanuclear Zn 53-OH) 2(COO -) 8 SBU was formed by two trimeric Zn 33-OH)(COO -) 6 SBUs, which can be simplified as 4-connected node. Correspondingly, compound 1 exhibits dia structural topology.
