Interpenetrated Luminescent Metal-Organic Frameworks based on 1H-Indazole-5-carboxylic Acid

Herein we report the formation and characterization of two novel Znbased multifunctional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on 1H-indazole-5-carboxylic acid and bipyridine-like linkers, synthesized by soft solvothermal routes. These materials possess isoreticular 2-fold interpenetrated three-dimensional structures that afford a flexible character and allow porosity modulation of the MOFs as confirmed by CO2 sorption measurements. Apart from this attractive structural feature, the MOFs exhibit fascinating luminescent properties involving both luminescence thermometry and long-lasting phosphorescence.
