Inclusion Compound of Phthalic Anhydride in Porous Homochiral Zinc Terephthalate Lactate: The Effect of Guests on the Geometrical Characteristics of the Metal-Organic Framework

The inclusion compound [Zn2(dmf)(bdc)(S-lac)] · 0.5FTA (FTA = phthalic anhydride) is obtained by keeping the crystals of porous homochiral metal-organic coordination polymer [Zn2(dmf)(bdc)(S-lac)] · DMF (DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide, H2bdc = terephthalic acid, S-H2lac = S-lactic acid) with excess phthalic anhydride at 100 °C. The crystal structure of the compound is determined by X-ray crystallography.
