Pillared MOFs: structure and ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters

Abstract

The solvothermal reaction of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with 5-aminoisophthalic acid and 4,4/-bipyridyl (4,4/-bipy) led to the self-assembly of the known 3-D hybrid H-bonded/covalent structure {[Zn(5-AIP)(4,4/-bipy)0.5]·DMF}n (1·DMF), but with DMF here (rather than...
