Crystal structure of a two-dimensional coordination polymer of formula Zn(NDC)(DEF) (H2NDC is naphthalene-2,6-di-carb-oxy-lic acid and DEF is N,N-di-ethyl-formamide)

A zinc metal-organic framework, namely poly[bis-(N,N-di-ethyl-formamide)(μ4-naphthalene-2,6-di-carboxyl-ato)(μ2-naphthalene-2,6-di-carboxyl-ato)dizinc(II)], [Zn(C12H6O4)(C15H11NO)] n , built from windmill-type secondary building units and forming zigzag shaped two-dimensional stacked layers, has been solvothermally synthesized from naphthalene-2,6-di-carb-oxy-lic acid and zinc(II) acetate as the metal source in N,N-di-ethyl-formamide containing small amounts of formic acid.A zinc metal-organic framework, namely poly[bis-(N,N-di-ethyl-formamide)(μ4-naphthalene-2,6-di-carboxyl-ato)(μ2-naphthalene-2,6-di-carboxyl-ato)dizinc(II)], [Zn(C12H6O4)(C15H11NO)] n , built from windmill-type secondary building units and forming zigzag shaped two-dimensional stacked layers, has been solvothermally synthesized from naphthalene-2,6-di-carb-oxy-lic acid and zinc(II) acetate as the metal source in N,N-di-ethyl-formamide containing small amounts of formic acid.
