Synthesis, supramolecular isomerism, and photoluminescence of scandium(III) complexes with tetrafluoroterephthalate ligand

Here we present a new family of seven Sc(III) complexes with tetrafluoroterephthalate ligand (tFBDC2−), having non-polymeric and polymeric 2D and 3D structures. These complexes are characterized by SC XRD, PXRD,...

Octafluorobiphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate as a ligand for metal-organic frameworks: progress and perspectives

While metal-organic frameworks based on aromatic carboxylates are very numerous and well investigated, the chemistry of their fully fluorinated analogues is at the very beginning. This minireview aims at summarizing all metal complexes with octafluorobiphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate (oFBPDC2−) anion and in particular, porous coordination polymers, their syntheses, crystal structures and functional properties highlighting the importance of further investigation of such systems.
