Abstract
-
Zinc(ii) nitrate reacts with different ratios of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2bdc) and 2-halo-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H 2bdc-X, X = Br or I) to give [Zn4O(bdc) 3-x(bdc-X)x], in which preferential incorporation of bdc is observed. The selective incorporation is related to crystal growth rates, and the proportion of incorporated bdc-X rises with increasing reaction time. © 2011 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
