posted on 2007-07-09, 00:00 authored by Zhangang Han, Yulong Zhao, Jun Peng, Carlos J. Gómez-GarcíaAn in situ ligand reaction from the pyridine cycle to −COO- in the
copper−organic framework is achieved under hydrothermal conditions. Compound [Cu2(bpa)4] [1; bpa = 5-(4-bromophenyl)picolinic
acid] exhibits a one-dimensional chain architecture based on weak
Cu−O interactions. The mechanism of ligand transformation is
discussed.
