Exploring the Optical and Energetic Properties of a Co(II)-Based Mixed Ligand MOF.

Due to their remarkable properties, including remarkable porosity and extensive surface area, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are being investigated for various applications. Herein, we report the first Co(II)-based mixed ligand MOF, formulated Co(HTrz)(d-cam)(μ-OH). Its 3D structure framework is composed of helical chains {[Co(μ-HTrz)]} connected by d-camphorate ligand building blocks and featured as an extended structure in an AB-AB fashion.
