Conclusion

The study presents a new coordination polymer formed by lithium ions and a pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylate ligand, showcasing a three-dimensional framework.

Supporting Evidence

  • The new coordination polymer features lithium ions bridged by a pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylate ligand.
  • The structure exhibits a three-dimensional framework stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
  • Two symmetry-independent lithium ions are present in the structure.

Takeaway

Scientists created a new material using lithium and a special chemical that helps form a strong structure, which could be useful for making new things.

Methodology

The compound was synthesized by mixing pyrazine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid dihydrate and lithium hydroxide in hot water, followed by crystallization.
