From operando Raman mechanochemistry to "NMR crystallography": understanding the structures and interconversion of Zn-terephthalate networks using selective 17O-labelling.
Abstract:The description of the formation, structure and reactivity of coordination networks and MOFs remains a real challenge in a number of cases. This is notably true for compounds composed of Zn2+ ions and terephthalate ligands (benzene 1,4-dicarboxylate, BDC), because of the difficulties in isolating them as pure phases and/or because of the presence of structural defects. Here, using mechanochemistry in combination with operando Raman spectroscopy, the observation of the formation of various zinc-terephthalate co… Show more
