Hypothesis
The solvothermal reaction of Co(NO3)2 and 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine will yield a new coordination polymer.
Conclusion
The study successfully synthesized a new porous metal-organic framework with a unique structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The cobalt center in the polymer is seven-coordinated, which is a rare configuration.
- The resulting framework has a (10,3) topological network.
- The dimensions of the pores in the framework are approximately 1.3 nm × 1.3 nm.
Takeaway
The researchers mixed some chemicals and heated them to create a new material that has tiny holes in it, which could be useful for various applications.
Methodology
The synthesis involved a solvothermal reaction of Co(NO3)2 and 2,4,6-tris(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine in a mixed solvent.
