[摘要]:Two gallium carboxylates of MOF-type have been hydrothermally synthesized (210 degrees C) by using 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylate (Ga-4(OH)(8)[C10O8H2]center dot 5-5.6H(2)O or MIL-120) or 1,2,4-benzenetri-carboxylate (Ga-2(OH)(4)[C9O6H4] or MIL-124) as linkers. The structures of both compounds solved from XRD analysis, revealed two independent crystallographic sites for the gallium atoms, which are connected to each other through mu(2)-hydroxo edge, generating zigzag chains with a cis-trans mode. The inorganic ribbons are linked to each other via all the carboxylatc functions of the pyromellitate ligand to form a 3D framework (MIL-120) or two of the carboxylate arms of the trimellitate ligand to form a 2D structure (MIL-124). For the latter, one of the carboxylate arms is not bonded to the gallium centers, resulting in the layered aspect of the final structure. Solid-state NMR using the slow-CTMAS method has been successfully implemented for the determination of the gallium site parameters for MIL-120, allowing more resolved spectra at moderate magnetic fileds than at very high field. Only one gallium site is visible for MIL-124, indicating a dynamic disorder resulting from the nonfully connected carboxylate species of the trimellitate ligand.
