Synthesis, crystal structure, and gas adsorption property of microporous solid by assembly of 1-D coordination polymer with a zigzag skeleton

A crystalline solid, [Rh(II)2(bza)4(1,5-nptd)]n (bza and 1,5-nptd=benzoate and 1,5-naphthyridine), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; the microporous compound demonstrates gas adsorbency with a N2 BET surface area of 291.6 m2 g−1.
