There has been considerable interest lately in the syntheses of metal-organic frameworks (MOF) for use in applications such as gas storage, catalysis and optical materials. Metal complexes of derivatives of bis(pyridylimino)isoindoline are useful as building blocks for a variety of MOF types. These building blocks can be formed using simple synthetic conditions. The incorporation of a wide variety of appendage groups afford some control over void shape and size. This work reports the synthesis of the copper(II) complex of bis(pyridylimino)benz(f)isoindoline and the MOF which results from crystallization of this building block from solution. In addition, the MOF resulting from the crystallization of the copper(II) complex of bis(benzothiazolylimino)isoindolne will also be reported.
