Zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV) coordination polymers with a tetra-acetyl-ethane (Bisacac) ligand: Synthesis, structure elucidation and gas sorption behavior

Pseudo crystalline coordination polymer complexes of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) cations with tetra-acetyl-ethane (Bisacac) ligand have been successfully produced in high yields and their structures were elucidated using EXAFS studies. The obtained materials display highly temperature dependent gas sorption behavior.
