Abstract

A new 2D gallium metal-organic framework formulated as Ga(OH)(BPDA) (1) (H 2BPDA = 2,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid, C 14O 4H 10) has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and luminescence studies. The neutral layer structure of the coordination polymer 1 is constructed from GaO 4(OH) 2 octahedra and organic BPDA 2- linkers, with the parallelogram tunnels joined through one-dimensional OHGaOH chains. Complex 1 exhibits intense green-blue emission at 482 nm (λ ex = 329 nm) in the solid state at room temperature.
