Abstract

A novel metal-organic frameworks Co(3,5-PDC)(H2O) (CoMOF, 3,5-PDC = pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized hydrothermally and characterized by single-crystal XRD and FT-IR spectra. The thermal stability and the decomposition mechanism of CoMOF were investigated by thermogravimetry-mass spectrometry, and a two-stage shape curve of mass loss was observed. Moreover, the low-temperature molar heat capacities were measured by temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry for the first time. The thermodynamic parameters such as entropy and enthalpy relative to reference temperature 298.15 K were derived based on the molar heat capacity data.
