The
modulator 2-fluorobenzoic acid (2-fba) is widely used to prepare
RE clusters in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). In contrast
to known RE MOF structures containing hydroxide bridging groups, we
report for the first time the possible presence of fluoro bridging
groups in RE MOFs. In this report we discuss the synthesis of a holmium-UiO-66
analogue as well as a novel holmium MOF, where evidence of fluorinated
clusters is observed. The mechanism of fluorine extraction from 2-fba
is discussed as well as the implications that these results have for
previously reported RE MOF structures.
Four new isostructural 3d-4f mixed metal organic frameworks (MOFs) Cu Gd2 (BDC)4, compound 1, Cu Ho2 (BDC)4, compound 2, Cu Eu2 (BDC)4, compound 3, and Cu Dy2 (BDC)4, compound 4 were successfully synthesized. The structure, stability, and magnetic properties were analyzed. Each MOF has two lanthanide ions and one copper ion node with terephthalic acid as the organic linker. The lanthanide ions form a dimer with each having a capped trigonal prismatic geometry while the copper ion has a square planar geometry. Each of these MOFs shows varying degrees of antiferromagnetic interactions.
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.
