1,3,5 -benzenetricarboxylate ligands

Assembly of carboxylate ligands and tri-nuclear [Cr30] cluster units can form materials of exceptionally high porosity. MIL-100 and MIL-101 are constructed from [Cr30] cluster nodes and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate or... 

The ability of larger ring systems to complex organic anions was examined for a number of receptor molecules. Ligands (72a)-(74), varying in ring size from 24 to 32 members, were found to complexdicarboxylates, l,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate , Co(CN)6 , Fe(CN)6, AMP , ADP and...

The srs net can be found in [Zn2(l,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate)(N03)] (H20)(C2H50H)5 [10] and a number of related compounds based on ligands with similar trigonal symmetry and other metal ions [11-15]. 

The first known instance of the synthesis of MOFs through an electrochemical route was performed by Mueller and coworkers, who pioneered a technique of anodic dissolution of the cation of a MOF metal centre within a solution of an organic bridging ligand and conducting salt, resulting in formation of, in this case, Cu-MOF (also known as HKUST-1 [Cu3(btc)2], btc = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate, see Fig. 2) without side...
