Two 3-D zinc framework compounds, $[Zn_6(BTB)_4(4,4'-bipy)_4(H_2O)_4]{\cdot}9H_2O$ (1) and $[Zn_3(BTB)_2(4,4'-bipy)_2(H_2O)_2]{\cdot}5H_2O$ (2) ($H_3BTB$ = 1,2,3-benzenetricarboxylic acid, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine), are obtained from the diffusion method and hydrothermal reaction respectively. Though 1 and 2 has the same coordination geometries of zinc atoms and coordination mode of $BTB^{3-}$, their 2-D layers are different: mirror symmetric layers in 1; parallel ones in 2, further connecting by 4,4'-bipy into 3-D frameworks. The hydrothermal reaction of 2 results in a more stable 3-D framework than the one in 1, which is supported by the single point energy calculations. 1 and 2 show similar blue fluorescence at 417 nm, which can be assigned to LMCT.

Cu-BTC[$Cu_3(BTC)_2(H_2O)_3$, BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate], one of the most well-known metal-organic framework materials (MOF), has been synthesized under atmospheric pressure and room temperature by using ultrasound. The Cu-BTC can be obtained in 1 min in the presence of DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide), suggesting the possibility of continuous production of Cu-BTC. Moreover, the surface area and pore volume show that the concentration of DMF is important for the synthesis of Cu-BTC having high porosity. The morphology and phase also depend on the concentration of DMF : Cu-BTC cannot be obtained at room temperature in the absence of DMF and aggregated Cu-BTC (with low surface area) is produced in the presence of high concentration of DMF. It seems that the deprotonation of benzenetricarboxylic acid by base (such as DMF) is inevitable for the room temperature syntheses.

The diamide-diamine having carboxylic acid was prepared by direct condensation of 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid with bits[4- (3-aminophenoxy ) phenyl] sulfone and bits(4-aminouhenyl)-1,4- diisopropylbenzene in medium consisting of triphenylphosphite, LiCl, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Copoly (amide-imide) derivatives with high molecular weight could be synthesized by one-step polycondensation of prepared diamide-diamine having carboxylic acid and various dianhydride compounds. Depending on the chemical structure and composition of polymer backbones, the viscosities of polymers were found to range between 0.87∼ 1.57 dL/B. All the polymers showed good thermal stability up to 320$\^{C}$ and the 10% weight loss temperature was observed in the range of 450∼540$\^{C}$ in a thermogravimetric traces. The glass transition was recorded in the temperature range of 200 ∼ 270$\^{C}$. All the polymers showed an amorphous nature on a differential scanning calorimetric thermograms. These polymers generally had good mechanical properties and readily soluble in various polar solvents. Further, it was proved that their properties could be determined from the composition.
