“…Utilizing a boron benzimidazolate tetrahedral anionic ligand, [B(bim) 4 ] − (bim = benzimidazolyl), a 2D fes net MOF Li[B(bim) 4 ] bearing 3-connected Li sites and dangling bim groups has been revealed by Feng and co-workers . A series of complexes, [Zn(tib)(BPDS)] (tib = 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl) benzene; H 2 BPDS = 4,4′-biphenyldisulfonic acid), [M(μ 3 -cppa)(H 2 O) 2 ] (M = Ni, Co) (Figure a) (H 2 cppa = 4-(3-carboxyphenyl) picolinic acid), [Zn 2 (OH)(TZI)(2,2′-bpy)]·H 2 O (Figure b) (H 3 TZI = 5-(4-(tetrazol-5-yl)phenyl)isophthalic acid; 2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine), [Ni(μ 3 -cpna)(2,2′-bpy)(H 2 O)] 2 ·H 2 O, [Ni(μ 3 -cpna)(phen)(H 2 O)]·H 2 O, [Pb(μ 3 -cpna)(phen)]·H 2 O (H 2 cpna = 5-(4-carboxyphenoxy) nicotinic acid; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), and [UO 2 ( c -chdc) 2 Ni(cyclam)(H 2 O)] ( c -chdc = cis -1,2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid) also exhibited same (3,3)-connected fes topological net with chair-shaped octagonal ring instead of a regular shape (Figure c). ,,− In addition, several interesting 2D MOFs with fes topology have been reported in the literature. ,,− …”
