ABSTRACT

A novel three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework (MOF), [Cu5(C10H7N2O2)4(N3)2(SO4)2]n (1), was constructed by a hydrothermal process at 160° C. The complex 1 exhibits strong emission at 396 nm in solid state. Importantly, the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility study indicates that there exists strong antiferromagnetic interactions between the copper atoms with C = 0.87 cm3 mol-1 K and θ = -320.2 K.
