Abstract
Different from the conventional method to construct pillared-layer metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) by using mixed bipyridyl and dicarboxylate ligands, herein, we present a new approach to build pillared-layer frameworks based on the pyridyldicarboxylate ligands which were predesigned with a certain shape. As exemplified, the ligands of 3-(2',5'-dicarboxyphenyl)benzoic acid (H3dbba) and 3-(2',5'-dicarboxylphenyl)pyridine acid (H2dcpy) were selected and employed to construct three pillared-layer MOFs, [Zn3(dbba)2(bipy)(DMF)]·3DMF·4H2O (1) (bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine), and a pair of crystal polymorphs of [Zn(dcpy)]·1.5DMF·1.5H2O (2 and 3), under solvothermal reactions, respectively. In the structures of 1-3, the [Zn2(COO)4] clusters are bridged by the terephthalate units of dbba3-/dcpy2- to form 2D layers; these layers are further pillared by bipy and the benzoate units of dbba3- or the pyridine units of dcpy2- to furnish the 3D frameworks. All of them possess high porosity characterized by N2 adsorption and exhibit high selective adsorption of C2H4 and CO2 over CH4.
