Rational Design of MOFs Constructed from Modified Aromatic Amino Acids

Three Phe and Tyr deriva- tives, 2-amino-3-(4-aminophenyl)-pro- pionic acid (AAP), 3E-(5-(2-amino-2- carboxyethyl)-2-methoxyphenyl)-acryl- ic acid (AMPA) and 3-(4-aminophen- yl)-2-(carboxymethyl-amino)-propionic acid (ACP) have been chosen as the li- gands to construct four kinds of novel metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (five structures). These structures are, (Cd II {(R)-AAP}(Py)A2O))·A4), (R)-1 ;(C d
