Barium coordination polymers based on fluorinated and fluorine-free benzene-dicarboxylates: Mechanochemical synthesis and spectroscopic characterization

New fluorinated and fluorine-free barium-based coordination polymers were successfully synthesized via a mechanochemical synthesis route by milling of barium hydroxide samples with isomers of tetrafluorobenzene-dicarboxylic acids H2BDC-F4 and their nonfluorinated analogs H2BDC. The new coordination polymers were systematically investigated using various analytical methods.163
