An Infinite Water Chain Passes through an Array of Zn(II) Metallocycles Built with a Podand Bearing Terminal Carboxylates Subhadip Neogi Parimal K. Bharadwaj 10.1021/ic048489a.s002 https://acs.figshare.com/articles/dataset/An_Infinite_Water_Chain_Passes_through_an_Array_of_Zn_II_Metallocycles_Built_with_a_Podand_Bearing_Terminal_Carboxylates/3300058 A podand bearing three carboxylic acid groups was synthesized by condensation of tris(2-chloroethyl)amine with 4-hydroxyethylbenzoate followed by hydrolysis of the ester group. An aqueous solution of Zn(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>ยท6H<sub>2</sub>O reacts with the tetraethylammonium salt of the podand at room temperature, to form a porous coordination polymeric structure with infinite interlinked chains of Zn(II) metallocycles. An infinite water chain passes through the metallocycles like a thread. The compound was characterized by X-ray crystallography, X-ray powder diffraction, TGA, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. 2005-02-21 00:00:00 tetraethylammonium salt podand ester group IR spectroscopy water chain carboxylic acid groups Infinite Water Chain Passes Podand Bearing Terminal Carboxylates TGA Zn metallocycle room temperature
