Fe(III)/Fe(II) regular charge order in metal-organic framework.

The hydrolysis of the DMF solvent (DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide) generates in situ the template cations DMA(+) (dimethylammonium cation): it leads to the first MOF type solid Fe(III)(0.5)Fe(II)(0.5)(OH,F)(O(2)C-C(6)H(4)-CO(2))·0.

Two-dimensional hybrid germanium zeotype formed by selective coordination of the trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane isomer to the ge atom: heterogeneous acid-base bifunctional catalyst.

[C 6H 10(NH 2) 2Ge 3O 6] ICMM9 is a two-dimensional germanate in which the metallic atoms are covalently bonded to chelating diamines. Its layered structure having some similitude with that of the pyroxene mineral, presents a totally new topology with two 4-c nodes. The solvothermal synthesis reaction allows the separation in situ of the two 1,2-diaminocyclohexane isomers by selective coordination of the trans isomer to octahedral Ge atoms of the ICMM9 framework.

GeO2 natrolite-type infinite four and eight R-containing layers in a 2D pure-Ge framework: Ge3O5(OH)4[C2N2H10].

A new two-dimensional framework germanate, Ge3O5(OH)4[C2N2H10] (denoted ICMM-8), with a 3:9 Ge:O ratio has been synthesized, using a mixture of pyridine, water, and ethanol as the solvent and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane and ethylenediamine as the structure-directing agents, under solvothermal conditions.

A germanium zeotype with a three-dimensional net of interconnected 14-, 12- and 12-ring channels. Ge13O26(OH)4[C6N2H16]2(H2O)1.5.

Ge(13)O(26)(OH)(4)[C(6)N(2)H(16)](2)(H(2)O)(1.5) is a novel germanium zeotype built up from a new type of SBU; the SBU-13 is formed from polyhedra distributed in three shells. Its open 3D framework has a three-dimensional system of intersecting channels, where the 14-ring channels are lined with OH(-) anions.
