One-Pot Multiple Metal-Organic Framework Formation: Concomitant Generation of Structural Isomers or of Drastically Distinct Materials

The solvothermal reaction of 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H2dhtp) and magnesium(II) nitrate in N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) led to the simultaneous formation of two structural isomers, namely, the lvt network Mg(dhtp)(dmf)2 (1) and the compound Mg3(dhtp)3(dmf)6·0.75H2O (2) with the pcu α‐Po primit...

Description
Summary:The solvothermal reaction of 2,5‐dihydroxyterephthalic acid (H2dhtp) and magnesium(II) nitrate in N,N‐dimethylformamide (DMF) led to the simultaneous formation of two structural isomers, namely, the lvt network Mg(dhtp)(dmf)2 (1) and the compound Mg3(dhtp)3(dmf)6·0.75H2O (2) with the pcu α‐Po primitive cubic topology. The same reaction conditions with manganese(II) nitrate and terephthalic acid (H2tp) resulted in the concomitant generation of two drastically different metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, Mn2(tp)2(dmf)2 (3) and [Mn(HCOO)3][NC2H8] (4), in which the formato ligands and N,N‐dimethylammonium cations arise from DMF degradation. The (solvothermal) reactions to produce MOFs may lead to the simultaneous generation of multiple solid materials, for instance, structural isomers or even radically different compounds.
