Biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid N,N-dimethylformamide monosolvate
Biphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid was recrystallized from N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) yielding the title compound, C14H10O4·2C3H7NO. The acid molecules are located on crystallographic centres of inversion and are hydrogen bonded to DMF molecules. These hydrogen-bonded units form infinite chains although there is no interaction between the methyl groups of neighboring DMF molecules
Poly[tris(μ-2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylato)tetrakis(N,N-dimethylformamide)diyttrium(III)]
The asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer, [Y2(C8H5NO4)3(C3H7NO)4]n, contains one Y3+ ion, three half-molecules of the 2-aminobenzene-1,4-dicarboxylate (abz) dianion and two O-bonded N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) molecules. Each abz half-molecule is completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry and its –NH2 group is disordered in each case [relative occupancies within the asymmetric unit = 0.462 (18):0.538 (18), 0.93 (2):0.07 (2) and 0.828 (16):0.172 (16)]. The combination of disorder and crystal symmetry means that each of the four C—H atoms of the benzene ring of each of the dianions bears a statistical fraction of an –NH2 group. The coordination geometry of the yttrium ion is a fairly regular YO8 square antiprism arising from its coordination by two DMF molecules, four monodentate abz dianions and one O,O-bidentate abz dianion. The polymeric building unit is a dimeric paddle-wheel with two metal ions linked by four bridging abz dianions. Further bridging linkages connect the dimers into a three-dimensional framework containing voids in which highly disordered DMF molecules are presumed to reside

XAS on Rh and Ir metal sites in post synthetically functionalized UiO-67 Zirconium MOFs
We synthesized UiO-67 metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs) functionalized with different transition metals (Rh, Ir). Using EXAFS we verified that the synthesis has been successful. Furthermore, we observed the change of local environment while varying of metal site. XAS spectroscopy is the most informative technique to characterize these kind of materials and to study the local environment around the metal site

Twinning in Zr-Based Metal-Organic Framework Crystals
Ab initio structure determination of new metal-organic framework (MOF) compounds is generally done by single crystal X-ray diffraction, but this technique can yield incorrect crystal structures if crystal twinning is overlooked. Herein, the crystal structures of three Zirconium-based MOFs, that are especially prone to twinning, have been determined from twinned crystals. These twin laws (and others) could potentially occur in many MOFs or related network structures, and the methods and tools described herein to detect and treat twinning could be useful to resolve the structures of affected crystals. Our results highlight the prevalence (and sometimes inevitability) of twinning in certain Zr-MOFs. Of special importance are the works of Howard Flack which, in addition to fundamental advances in crystallography, provide accessible tools for inexperienced crystallographers to take twinning into account in structure elucidation
