Octanuclear zinc(II) carboxylate framework based on 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid

A novel coordination polymer has been synthesized by self-assembly of zinc with varied polycarboxylates (1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid) and N,N-dimethylformamide, which present 3D structure based on [Zn8(μ4-O)2(COO)12] octanuclear as secondary building unit.
