Hydrothermal Chemistry of the Copper–Triazolate System: A Microporous Metal–Organic Framework Constructed from Magnetic {Cu₃(μ₃‐OH)(triazolate)₃}²⁺ Building Blocks, and Related Materials

Abstract

Networking with triazolate: Three new compounds containing networks of CuI or CuII ions linked by 1,2,4-triazolate (trz) ligands were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. The microporous metal–organic framework {Cu3(μ3-OH)(trz)3(OH)2(H2O)4}n, which is built up from magnetic triangles, forms 17×13×13 Å3 cavities (see picture; Cu dark blue, O red, N light blue, C black).
