In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or coordination polymers (CPs) have attracted attention due to their potential applications for gas storage, catalysis, molecular magnetism and sensors. The combinations of metal ions and organic ligands are designed in the form of one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) frameworks. The coordination geometry of the metal ions and the organic ligand geometry affect the structure and topology of the MOFs. In this research, a novel metal-organic framework (MOF) formulated as, [Cu2(Hbtc)2(H2O)6] (1), has been synthesized with reaction between copper (II) and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid. The product has been characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The complex (1) is crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system with P21/n space group. Crystal data for complex (1): a= 6.7575(3), b= 18.8415(6), c= 8.5187(5)[Å], ? = 92.366(4)[°], Z= 2.
