Synthesis and Adsorption Properties of Azulene-containing Porous Interdigitated Framework
A porous interdigitated 2D coordination framework {[Zn(azdc)(bpy)]center dot DMF}(n) (azdc: 1,6-azulenedicarboxylate; bpy: 4,4'-bipyridyl; DMF: N,N-dimethylformamide) was synthesized and structurally characterized. By comparing with its constitutional isomer, [Zn(azdc)(bpy)](n) showed stronger H2O interaction which was induced by polarized azulene moiety.
