A partially fluorinated linear rigid linker, 2,2′-bis-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bfbpdc), has been synthesized. This linker forms a porous three-dimensional (3D) metal–organic
Three three-dimensional polymers, namely, [Zn(bpea)(H2O)]n (1), [Cd(bpea)(H2O)]n (2), and [Ni(bpea)(4,4′-bipyridine)(pyridine)]n (3) have been synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of ZnII, CdII, o
Polycarboxylate ligands are among the most important building blocks for the synthesis of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The ability to access these ligands in an efficient way is of key importance
