A Cd-based metal-organic framework (Cd-MOF), named after {[Cd(ttc)(HO)]·HO} (ttc = 1-imidazole-1-yl-2,4,6-benzene-tricarboxylic acid), was synthesized using the solvothermal reaction. The single-crystal structure was determined by single X-ray diffraction analysis, and crystalline characteristics and composition were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG), respectively. Structural analysis showed that the Cd ion is in the seven-coordinated mode, in which ttc ion adopts the μ-η-η-η-η coordination mode.

Implementation of a systematic program for galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) countermeasure discovery will require convenient access to ground-based space radiation analogs. The current gold standard approach for GCR simulation is to use a particle accelerator for sequential irradiation with ion beams representing different GCR components. This has limitations, particularly for studies of non-acute responses, strategies that require robotic instrumentation, or implementation of complex in vitro models that are emerging as alternatives to animal experimentation.
