A novel zeolite-like metal-organic framework, [Cd12（trz）12＇F10＇（SiF6）3]·（H3O）4 （Htrz = 1,2,4-triazole）, has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions using 1H-l,2,4-triazole-3- carboxylic acid and ...A novel zeolite-like metal-organic framework, [Cd12（trz）12＇F10＇（SiF6）3]·（H3O）4 （Htrz = 1,2,4-triazole）, has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions using 1H-l,2,4-triazole-3- carboxylic acid and CdF2 as the starting materials. The complex has been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, SEM-EDS, gas adsorption, powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The title complex crystallizes in the cubic 1-43m space group, with a = 14.6436（8）, V= 3140.1（3）A3, Z = 2, Mr = 2857.96, D,.= 3.023 g/cm3 and F（000） = 2668. The final R = 0.0653 and wR = 0.1880 for 586 observed reflections with 1 〉 2σ（I）. In the title complex, three adjacent Cd（ll） centers are connected by three p3-bridging triazole ligands to form triagonal secondary building units （SBUs）, which are further interconnected to form a three-dimensional skeleton with tetrahedral cages.展开更多

The structural analysis shows that the complex has a one-dimensional chain structure. CCDC: 609770.展开更多
