A novel porous coordination polymer,iron naphthalenedicarboxylate Fe（OH）（1,4-NDC）·2H2O is hydrothermally synthesized by the reaction of FeSO4·7H2O and 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid（1,4-H2NDC） at 150℃.The compound crystallizes in a tetragonal space group P42/nmc：a=2.1447（4） nm,c=0.68849（14） nm,V=3.1669（11） nm3,Z=8,R=0.0845,wR=0.1829.The crystal structure exhibits a three-dimensional framework which is composed of infinite chains of corner-sharing octahedral Fe（OH）2O4 with 1,4-NDC ligands forming two types of channels with square-shaped cross-sections.The large channels present a cross-section of 0.76 nm×0.76 nm,while the small channels are about 0.30 nm×0.30 nm.No structural transformation occurs after removing the guest water molecules,while a robust structure generates with permanent porosity.The adsorption measurements show that the anhydrous sample of the compound can adsorb CO2 into its pores.The adsorption isotherms for methanol,acetone,tetrahydrofuran and benzene are also measured.
