Abstract:
A series of 12-connected lanthanide cluster based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been constructed by [Ln6(μ3-OH)8(COO-)12] secondary building units (SBUs) and 2-aminobenzenedicarboxylate (BDC-NH2) ligands. These obtained materials exhibit high chemical stability and generic thermal stability, especially in acidic and basic conditions. They also present commendable CO2 adsorption capacity, and Yb-BDC-NH2 was further confirmed by a breakthrough experiment under both dry and wet conditions. Moreover, these materials possess both Lewis acid and Brønsted base sites that can catalyze one-pot tandem deacetalization-Knoevenagel condensation reactions.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
