Unusual cadmium(II)–adenine paddle-wheel units for the construction of a metal-organic framework with mog topology

A new three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework [Cd2(Ad)2(IN)2(DMF) (H2O)]·DMF (1; Ad = Adenine; IN = isonicotinic acid) with unusual cadmium–adeninate “paddle-wheel” building block has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TG) Elemental analysis (EA) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR). Compound 1 exhibits 4-connected moganite (mog) topologic network.
