rigid carboxylate ligand 1, 3, 5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3btc) and an N, N-divergent
spacer with conformational flexibility, bis (4-pyridylthio) methane (SCS), was investigated.
The new coordination polymers 1∞[Cu (H2btc) 2 (SCS)](1) and 2∞[Cu (Hbtc)(SCS) 2]· H2O
(2) have been prepared and characterized. Compounds 1 and 2 were obtained as a mixture
and optimization of the synthetic conditions allowed the isolation of pure phases in high …
