The lowest symmetry acentric network polymer with cavities resulted from two distinct metal centers with multifunctional ligands decorating the walls of the framework

A new MOF coordination polymer, [(H2O)Cu(BNA)4)Cu(H2O)(BPY)]∙ 5H2O (BNA = 5-bromonicotinato C6H3NO2Br; DPY = 4,4′-dipyridyl C10H8N2), with two distinct metal centers with multifunctional ligands decorating the walls of the framework has been synthesized. The structure is crystallized with the lowest symmetry P1, which displayed an acentric network with inclusion water molecules in the cavities.
