Metal-directed assembly of coordination polymers with the versatile ligand 2-(1 <i>H</i> -benzotriazol-1-yl) acetic acid: from discrete structures to two-dimensional networks

Abstract

A series of new metal coordination polymers were hydrothermally synthesized by the versatile bridging ligand, [HBTA = 2-(1 H -benzotriazol-1-yl)acetic acid], which displays different structure motifs from zero- to two-dimensional.
