Popis: We report the synthesis of two isoreticular mixed-ligand metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), namely, [Zn(μ2-ia)(μ2-bpe)]n·nDMF (1) and [Zn(μ2-mia)(μ2-bpe)]n·nDMF (2), where ia = isophthalate, mia = 5-methoxyisophthalate, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane, and DMF = N,N′-dimethylformamide. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the structures of 1 and 2 consist of a 2-periodic, layer sql motif. Structures exhibit entanglement through interpenetration of neighboring frameworks to form a two-dimensional bilayer. Variable-temperature powder X-ray diffraction studies confirmed both structures retain crystallinity upon desolvation up to ∼500 K. Although structurally similar, activated samples of 1 and 2 showed differing gas and vapor sorption capabilities. Despite activated 2 having the higher actual void space, activated 1 showed significantly higher sorption for carbon dioxide at 195 K, as well as significant hysteresis upon desorption. Empirical evidence points toward weaker bilayer···bilayer inter...
