Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are crystalline porous materials with diverse applications.
  • The rational design and synthesis of MOFs with specific topologies and node structures are crucial for advanced material development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize a novel metal-organic framework with a unique topological structure.
  • To characterize the resulting material and identify its structural features, including node composition and connectivity.

Main Methods:

  • Hydrothermal reaction utilizing copper(II) acetate, (4-pyridylthio)acetic acid, and ammonium thiocyanate as precursors.
  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction for structural determination of the synthesized metal-organic framework.
