These modified linkers are used for the synthesis of [Zn2(fu-bdc)2dabco]n materials (dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane). The alkoxy substituents at the fu-bdc linker are simulating solvent molecules – which can initialize the structural transformations in MOFs with non-functionalized ...
This is not the case, suggesting that the bonds between oxygen and tungsten are more rigid than those between oxygen and molybdenum. Considering that the distance among the atoms and the angles among them practically do not change, being cell parameters almost the same, this stiffening is not ...
