    Octahedral Tilting in MM′X4 Metal-Oxide Organic Layer Structures
    (American chemical society, 2008-04-29) Vougo-Zanda, M.; Anokhina, E.V.; Duhovic, S.; Liu, L.; Wang, X.; Oloba-whenu, O.A.; Albright, T.A.; Jacobson, A.J.
    Three metal-oxide organic frameworks have been synthesized and characterized: vanadium 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, V2O2F0.6(OH)1.4(BDC)·0.4H2O (1); indium 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, In2F2.2(OH)1.8(BDC)·1.6H2O (2); and aluminum 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate Al2F3(OH)(BDC) (3). The three-dimensional structures of 1, 2, and 3 have the same framework topology as the previously reported vanadium (III) 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, VIII2(OH)2F2(BDC). The frameworks consist of inorganic layers constructed from corner sharing ML6 octahedra (M = V, In, Al and L = OH, F) linked by BDC ligands. The structures are related to a general class of perovskite-related layer structures with composition MM′X4. The layers show characteristic distortions that can be related to tilting of the ML6 octahedra. In particular the structure of 1 consists of O−V distances that strongly alternate along the b axis. The electronic consequences of this distortion then create a tilting of the 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate ligand about the a axis.
