Abstract

The 2D CuII metal‐organic framework [Cu2(bptc)(H2O)4]n·4nH2O (1) (H4bptc = biphenyl‐2,2′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid) was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. In the structure, bptc4– serves as a twisted Π‐shaped organic building block to connect paddlewheel [Cu2(COO)4] dinuclear units and mononuclear units through 2‐/2′‐carboxylate and 4‐/4′‐carboxylate, respectively. According to the magnetic analysis using a dimer‐plus‐monomer model, strong antiferromagnetic coupling is operative within the dinuclear unit (J = –311 cm–1 based on H = –JS1S2), and the compound behaves like a mononuclear molecule at low temperature.
