Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) Biphenylpyridine Ligand

A rigid bridging ligand linker for MOFs in applications of iron detection and selective adsorption of carbon dioxide


5,5′-(Pyridine-3,5-diyl)diisophthalic acid (H4PyDIP), CAS number 1433029-60-7, is a rigid bridging-type tetracarboxylic acid molecule containing two isophthalic acid moieties and one pyridine spacer.

Ln-metal–organic framework (Ln-MOF) materials [(CH3)2NH2]2[Ln2(L)2(H2O)2]·2DMF·2H2O (H4L = H4PyDIP) can not only selectively detect polychlorinated benzenes, but also highly sensitively detect the Fe3+ ion (KSV = 7.58 × 104 M–1).

Zn(II) metal–organic framework (MOF) [Me2NH2][Zn2(PyDIP)(HTZ)]·4DMF (HTZ = 1H-tetrazole) contains two shapes of 1D open channels with suitable pore sizes, high porosity, and a highly polar pore system decorated with uncoordinated N atoms and carboxylic O atoms, providing a good environment for selective adsorption of CO2.
