Synthesis and Characterization of New Metal- Organic Framework Derived from 6- (Methoxycarbonyl) Pyridine-2-Carboxylic Acid as Application for Hydrogen Storage Materials

Abstract

In this study, a new organic linker namely 6-(pyrimidin-2-ylcarbamoyl)-pyridine-2- carboxylic acid methyl ester (L1) has been successfully synthesized. Along with this discovery, two metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) which derived from L1 and 6- (methoxycarbonyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (L), have also been synthesized and characterized by using combination of spectroscopic techniques such as Infrared (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonances (NMR), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Xray crystallography.
