Triethylammonium benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylato(pyridine)zinc(II): a two-dimensional undulating mesh network

Abstract A two-dimensional layered metal-organic framework material (HN(CH 2 CH 3 ) 3 )Zn(BTC)(Pyd) with chiral trigonal pores has been prepared with HTEA + as the structure-directing agent under mild synthetic condition. Crystal data for (HTEA)Zn(BTC)(Pyd): M =450.77, Orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a =13.652(4) A, b =16.345(4) A, c =18.734(6) A, V=4180(2) A 3 , T =293 K, Z =8, μ=1.213 mm −1 , D c =1.439 mg/m 3 . 9197 reflections measured, 2972 observed ( R int =0.0905), which were used in all calculations. The final R 1 =0.0498, R ω =0.1134. The structure was solved by direct methods using SHEUXTU-97.
