Synthesis and Characterization of a Metal-Organic Framework Bridged by Long Flexible Ligand

Abstract
3D supramolecular network with considerable volume pores was created via hydrogen bond & C-H--π. By tightening of The metal-organic frameworks (MOF) namely [Ni(μ-pmb)2(H2O)2]n (pmb = 3,5-bis(4-pyridylmethylenoxyl) benzoate, that have been synthesized by hydrothermal method. Complex 1 crystallizes in triclinic P-1 space group and consists of 1D semi zigzag chain.
