Temperature-Dependent Superhydrophobic Functionalized Coordination Polymers (SFCPs) for Selective Adsorption of CH over CH.

We prepared two new superhydrophobic functionalized coordination polymers (SFCPs) [Zn(OH)(BTMB)(4,4'-Bipy)] ⊃ solvent, , and [Cd(OH)(BTMB)(4,4'-Bipy)] ⊃ solvent, , by solvothermal methods. For , the single-crystal XRD structure revealed that it contains two crystallographically distinct ions with two different types of coordination geometries of and , exhibiting a unique superhydrophobic behavior with microporosity. Compound exhibits superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of 155.
