Covalent functionalization of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (bdc) with methoxyethoxy groups induces conformational freedom in this molecule. Applying these 2,5-disubstituted bdc derivatives in metal-organic framework synthesis together with 4,4'-bipyridine as coligand yields novel honeycomb-like structures. The cylindrical channels of these materials are populated

Hydroxyl- and amino- functionalized [Zn(BDC)(TED)(0.5)]·2DMF·0.2H(2)O leads to two new structures, [Zn(BDC-OH)(TED)(0.5)]·1.5DMF·0.3H(2)O and [Zn(BDC-NH(2))(TED)(0.5)]·xDMF·yH(2)O (BDC=terephthalic acid, TED=triethylenediamine, BDC-OH=2-hydroxylterephthalic acid, BDC-NH(2)=2-aminoterephthalic acid). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed that the structures of both functionalized compounds are very similar to

The functionalisation of well-known rigid metal-organic frameworks (namely, [Zn(4)O(bdc)(3)](n), MOF-5, IRMOF-1 and [Zn(2)(bdc)(2)(dabco)](n); bdc = 1,4-benzene dicarboxylate, dabco = diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane) with additional alkyl ether groups of the type -O-(CH(2))(n)-O-CH(3) (n = 2-4) initiates unexpected structural flexibility, as well as high

Sodium terephthalate was shown to be a new robust and sensitive chemical trap for highly reactive oxygen species (hROS), which lacks the drawbacks of the salicylic acid method. Reaction of the almost non-fluorescent terephthalate (TA2-) with hydroxyl radicals or ferryl-oxo
