	abstract = {<p>A new microporous metal-organic framework (MOF) material ZBTEC-1 has been synthesized by designing infinite coordination polymer network formed between Zn(II) and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (BTEC) under solvothermal conditions in the presence of 1,6-diaminohexane (DAH) as a single molecule template. Powder XRD data demonstrate that the ZBTEC-1 material has a new MOF structure. N-2 sorption studies indicated moderately good surface area (306 m(2) g(-1)) with large size micropores (average pore diameter ca. 0.7 nm) and very high pore volume (1.93 ccg(-1)). C-13 solid state MAS-NMR, FT-IR and UV-visible spectroscopic studies showed the presence of BTEC moieties in the framework. TEM and FE-SEM analysis indicated 30-60 nm diameter size microporous spherical particles for the ZBTEC-1 crystallites. This novel MOF material showed good hydrogen adsorption capacity at 77 K, indicating its potential application in hydrogen storage. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.</p>},

	abstract = {<p>The complex [Zn(phthiocol)(2)(H2O)(2)]; 1, where phthiocol is 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, H-1 NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, electrochemical and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The v(C=O) stretch shifts to lower frequencies upon complexation of phthiocol to Zn2+. H-1 NMR spectra show an upfield shift of the benzenoid ring protons in 1. There is a bathochromic shift of the LMCT band in the UV-vis spectra of 1. Single crystal X-ray structure of 1 show distorted octahedral geometry around Zn2+. Two phthiocol ligands are in plane with the metal, while water molecules are trans to this plane. Coordination of deprotonated phthiocol ligands is {\textquoteleft}trans, trans{\textquoteright} to Zn2+. Intra as well as intermolecular interactions are observed in 1. Molecules of 1 show three dimensional network through C-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions. Additional anodic peaks are observed in cyclic voltammogram of phthiocol ligand due to oxidation of reduced species formed during reduction. One-electron reduction of 1 is shown to be reversible and DFT studies define this redox event as ligand-centered. (c) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</p>},
