TEXTURAL ANALYSIS OF A TWO-DIMENSIONAL METAL-ORGANIC FRAMEWORK CATENA[BIS (Μ2- (+) -TARTRATE) -DIAQUA-DI-ZINC (II) TRIHYDRATE] OBTAINED FROM NITROGEN ADSORPTION.

Nitrogen adsorption of the compound was carried out. The sample was synthesized using the solvothermal method. Its crystalline structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and its purity was determined to be 99.5% through elemental analysis. The compound was used in the form of a crystalline powder. To remove adsorbed gases and moisture, the sample was degassed at a temperature of 120°C under a vacuum of <10−3 Torr for 12 hours. Prior to adsorption measurements, the sample was purified with high-purity nitrogen. The mass of the degassed sample used for adsorption measurements was 0.100 g. Nitrogen (N2) gas with a purity of 99.999% was used as the adsorbate. Before use, the gas was dried using molecular sieves.
