Abstract
Synthesis of a triazole-based N,O ligand, 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)acrylate (ta) is described. The coordination of this new ligand is studied by the reaction of K[ta] (3) with zinc(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II), iron(II), and magnesium(II). The ligand favors the formation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) apart from magnesium(II). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal MOF structures for [Mn(ta)
