Synthesis and Characterization of 2D Metal-Organic Frameworks for Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide and Hydrogen.

The reaction of Cd(NO)·4HO and Zn(NO)·6HO with the bipyridyl dicarboxylate ligand Hbpydc (2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid) afforded two porous metal organic frameworks [Cd(bpydc)(DMF)·2DMF] (JMS-3) and [Zn(bpydc)(DMF)·DMF] (JMS-4). X-ray diffraction studies revealed that both JMS-3 and JMS-4 crystallize in the monoclinic crystal. The MOFs possess 2D interdigited networks with () topology.
