A 3D (3,8)-connected tfz-d framework with unusual Cu5II clusters periodically extended by 5-nitroisophthalate (nip2−) ligands, {[Cu5(μ3-OH)2(μ2-H2O)2(H2O)4(nip)4]·5H2O}n (1), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Magnetically, the spin frustration in a vertex-sharing triangular aligned Cu5II cluster leads essentially to an overall S = 1/2 spin ground state of 1.
Graphical AbstractA novel 3D CuII5 clusters-based tfz-d framework was hydrothermally synthesized, and the spin-frustration within the pentanuclear cluster leads to a S = 1/2 spin ground state of 1.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch highlights► A novel 3D tfz-d framework with CuII5 clusters was hydrothermally obtained. ► The nitro group of nip2- ligand is firstly observed to coordinate with metal ion. ► The spin frustration in triangular CuII5 cluster leads to a S = 1/2 spin ground state.
