Metal-organic frameworks of p-hydroxybenzoic acid: synthesis, structure and ring-opening polymerization capability.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Two new, isostructural, metal–organic frameworks {[Co(O2CC6H4O)(DMF)]2}n and {[Mn(O2CC6H4O)(DMF)]2}n have been synthesised and structurally characterized. Use of p-hydroxybenzoic acid resulted in a three-dimensional MOF featuring a linker with a carboxylic group and a para-hydroxyl group. Ring opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone and δ-valerolactone has been performed using these MOFs as catalysts, and results compared with the known zinc MOF Zn(O2CC6H4O). The resulting products are predominantly cyclic polymers. The manganese and zinc MOFs exhibit significant recyclability during ring opening polymerization.
