Abstract

A new copper complex and two new copper coordination polymers were synthesized and transformed into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The copper polymer, Cu[(4–3-pbz)2(H2O)] (1), coordinates copper and 4-(3-pyridyl) benzoate and water molecules. The copper complex, Cu2[(4–2-pbz)4(DMF)2] (2), which forms a paddlewheel copper dimer coordinated with 4-(2-pyridyl)benzoate and DMF molecules, was used to form a secondary copper polymer, Cu2[(bpy)(Acetate)4] ּ THF (3). The paddlewheel dimer motif was retained and was used as a metalloligand. It was reacted with the linkers, terephthalic acid (BDC) and 4-biphenyl dicarboxylic acid (BPDC), individually, to synthesize two MOFs.
