The solvothermal reaction of 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H2dhtp) and magnesium(II) nitrate in N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) led to the simultaneous formation of two structural isomers, namely, the lvt network Mg(dhtp)(dmf)2 (1) and the compound Mg3(dhtp)3(dmf)6·0.75H2O (2) with the pcu α‐Po primitive cubic topology. The same reaction conditions with manganese(II) nitrate and terephthalic acid (H2tp) resulted in the concomitant generation of two drastically different metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, Mn2(tp)2(dmf)2 (3) and [Mn(HCOO)3][NC2H8] (4), in which the formato ligands and N,N‐dimethylammonium cations arise from DMF degradation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
