A metal-organic framework constructed of 1,4-Di(pyridin-4-yl)-buta-1,3- diyne and nickel(II) nitrate

Abstract

A metal-organic framework (MOF) was prepared from 1,4-di(pyridin-4-yl)buta- 1,3-diyne and nickel(II) nitrate hexahydrate in methanol and dichloromethane at room temperature. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group C2221, Z = 4. The rhombic cavities of the MOF are occupied by disordered molecules of dichloromethane. © 2011 Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung, Tübingen.
