Abstract
Two new coordination polymers have been synthesized with 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid upon base modification. The resulting structures are dependent on the base added. When KOH was used as base, potassium was incorporated into the two-dimensional coordination polymer, acting as a metallolinker to give [Pr2K2(OH)2(C6H2O5)3(H2O)3]·H2O (1). Synthesis with other alkali hydroxides produced a three-dimensional metal-organic framework, [Pr8(OH)6(C6H2O5)9(H2O)15]·3H2O (2), and the alkali metal cations were not incorporated into the structure. Hole-size effects with bite-angle analyses indicate that metallolinker formation depends on the cation size. The resulting compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis.
