Abstract:Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are an extremely promising and rapidly growing class of coordination compounds. Pyromellitic acid (H 4 Prm) containing four carboxyl groups is a popular ligand for building MOFs. In this study, a twostep approach was used to synthesize MOFs containing polydentate pyromellitate and hydroxyalkylamine ligands. In the first stage, Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) pyromellitates were synthesized by the reaction of sodium pyromellitate with inorganic Cu(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) salts in wate… 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.
