One unprecedented 3-D strontium-organic framework constructed from 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-imidazole dicarboxylate and water ligands

One Sr(II) polymer has been successfully isolated from the reaction of 2-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (MDPhH3IDC) with equal amount of Sr(II) salt under hydrothermal condition. It has been structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
