Abstract

Three magnesium-based coordination polymers, formulated as Mg(3,4-pyb)2 (1), Mg(4,3-pyb)2 (2), and Mg2.5(4,4-pyb)2(HCOO)2(OH) (3), have been synthesized under solvothermal conditions, where 3,4-pyb = 3-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate, 4,3-pyb = 4-(pyridin-3-yl)benzoate, and 4,4-pyb = 4-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate. Compounds 1 and 2 have (3,6)-connected frameworks with an anatase topology. Compound 3 has a (3,8)-connected framework with an unusual tfz-d topology by regarding Mg5(HCOO)4(OH)2 clusters as 8-connected nodes and bridging 4,4-pyb ligands as 3-connected nodes.
