A new cooper benzenedicarboxylate metal-organic coordination polymer,[Cu(μH2O)(BDC)]n·nDMF(1,H2BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate acid,DMF = N,N'-dimethylfor-mamide),has been successfully synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by IR spectroscopy,elemental analysis,thermogravimetric analysis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.This complex crystallizes in triclinic,space group P1 with a = 6.605,b = 10.44780(10),c = 11.0881(6) ,α = 62.064(11),β = 73.410(15),γ = 78.404(16)°,C11H13CuNO6,Mr = 318.76,V = 645.79(8) 3,Z = 2,Dc = 1.639 g/cm3,F(000) = 326,μ = 1.712 mm-1,the final R = 0.0362 and wR = 0.1330 for 2055 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).The title compound contains infinite inorganic chains constructed by Cu oxygen octahedra by sharing corners and edges.Each chain is connected by BDC linkers to four other chains to form a three-dimensional framework with irregular rhombic channels where the DMF molecules are encapsulated.
