A rutile-type porous zinc(II)-phosphonocarboxylate framework: local proton transfer and size-selected catalysis.

ABSTRACT

The layered-solvothermal synthesis of zinc acetate dihydrate with 5-phosphonobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid yields a three-dimensional rutile-type porous metal-organic framework, which is an anionic open-framework containing local proton transfer with hydrated protons and showing excellent size-selective properties.
