Abstract:
The title compound, [Zn(2)(CHO(2))(C(8)H(3)O(5))(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)](n), is a three-dimensional metal-organic framework, of which two independent Zn(II) atoms (denoted Zn1 and Zn2) are linked by both 4-oxidoisophthalate and formate bridging ligands. The 4-oxidoisophthalate ligands link two Zn1-type and three Zn2-type atoms, forming a corrugated sheet roughly parallel to the ac plane. The formate ions join two neighboring sheets along the b axis, forming a three-dimensional network. Two independent dimethylformamide ligands are coordinated to separate Zn(II) atoms and fill the voids provided by the framework. Both types of Zn(II) atoms have a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
