Coordination Polymers of 5‑Alkoxy Isophthalic\nAcids

Abstract

The topology of coordination\npolymers containing 5-alkoxy isophthalic\nacids and first row transition metals was found to be dependent on\nthe combination of solvent system used and length of the alkyl chain.\nFour different framework types were identified: Phase A, M₆­(ROip)₅­(OH)₂­(H₂O)₄·​<i>x</i>H₂O (M =\nCo and R = Et, Pr, or ^<i>n</i>Bu, or M = Zn and\nR = Et); Phase B, M₂­(ROip)₂­(H₂O) (M = Co or Zn and R = Et, Pr, ^<i>n</i>Bu, or ^<i>i</i>Bu, or M = Mn and R = ^<i>n</i>Bu or ^<i>i</i>Bu); Phase C,\nZn₃­(EtOip)₂­(OH)₂; and\nPhase D, Zn₂­(EtOip)₂­(H₂O)₃. Preliminary screening of the NO storage and release\ncapabilities of the Co-containing materials is also reported.
