Abstract

A novel metal-organic framework [Zn(bpdc)(DMSO)]·2 DMSO (1) (bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate) was prepared by slow vapor diffusion method and characterized by single-crystal x-ray diffraction analysis. In the crystal structure of 1, the square grids [Zn(bpdc)(DMSO)] constructed with paddle-wheel [Zn2(OOC)4] building units and bpdc linkers stack over each other in a ABAB fashion to generate one-dimensional microporous channel that guest DMSO molecules occupy.
