Metal–organic frameworks based on the [1,1′:3′,1′′-terphenyl]-3,3′′,5,5′′-tetracarboxylic acid ligand: syntheses, structures and magnetic properties

Five coordination polymers containing transition metals (Mn, Co, Ni) and the organic ligand [1,1′:3′,1′′-terphenyl]-3,3′′,5,5′′-tetracarboxylic acid (H₄TPTA) were synthesized and characterized. Moreover, the magnetism of complexes 3–5 is also discussed.
