Abstract:Chemical
stability is one of the key concerns in coordination polymers
(CPs). However, technologies to protect CPs against acidic or alkaline
aqueous environments have yet to be implemented. Herein we demonstrate
an approach for improving the pH stability by utilizing the ligand
salt as buffering site to modify the unsaturated coordination sites
of CPs. For the selective one-dimensional CP Eu–d-DBTA
(d-H2DBTA = d-O,O′-dibenzoyltartaric acid) with a pH stability range
of 6–8, the introduction of the ligand salt… Show more
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.
