Hydrothermal synthesis and structural characterization of a new one-dimensional ladder-shaped metal-organic framework Zn(HTci)(4,4′-bipy)0.5 · H2O (H3Tci = tri(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate, 4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine)

A new metal-organic coordination polymer, namely, Zn(HTci)(4,4′-Bipy)0.5 · H2O (I) (H3Tci = tri(2-carboxyethyl)isocyanurate, 4,4′-Bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), has been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions by the reaction of zinc nitrate, H3Tci, and 4,4′-Bipy with the presence of H2O and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that I crystallizes in the triclinic system, \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$P\bar 1$$\end{document} space group.
