Abstract
The coordination of benzene-1,3,5-tribenzoate (BTB) and imidazole (Im) with cobalt under basic conditions yields a 2D layered structure, Co 3(BTB) 1.5(Im) 1.35(O) 0.5(OH) 0.5(H 2O) 1.65 guests (1), in which the imidazoles are weakly π-π stacked and hydrogen bonded to the adjacent layers affording a 3D supramolecular network. The structure is based on a hexanuclear Co 6 building unit which comprises four octahedral and two tetrahedral Co(II) centres. The framework is permanently porous to N 2, CO 2 and CH 4, with the strength of interaction at zero coverage being comparable to that at high loading. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
