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.
