摘要

Combination of a non-planar tripodal ligand 3,4-bi(4-carboxyphenyl)-benzoic acid (H3L) and Zn5O4-cluster secondary building units affords a highly connected three-dimensional metal-organic framework, {[Zn-5((3)-OH)(3)((2)-OH)L-2(H2O)(2)](H2O)(2)}(n) (1), which exhibits an unusual (3,4,9)-connected (4(2).5)(3.4(3).5(2))(3(2).4(5).5(11).6(13).7(3).8(2)) topological net. The thermal stability and solid luminescence of the crystalline material have also been investigated.
