The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, PXRD, FT-IR and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Single-crystal X-ray investigation of compounds 1, 2, and 3 shows the formation of the porous 2D structure. These 2D structures are further stacked to create a 3D network in the crystallographic space. All the compounds are thermally stable up to 300 \u00b0C, as revealed by the TGA. Hirshfeld surface analysis was carried out, and it reveals the existence of short intermolecular interactions between the layers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cryst15110989","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,19]],"date-time":"2025-11-19T15:03:15Z","timestamp":1763564595000},"page":"989","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Novel 2D Porous Metal\u2013Organic Frameworks: Synthesis, X-Ray Structure, Thermal, and Hirshfeld Surface Analyses"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Rupam","family":"Sen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Adamas University, Barasat, Kolkata 700126, India"}]},{"given":"Mahananda","family":"Roy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Adamas University, Barasat, Kolkata 700126, India"}]},{"given":"Sriparna","family":"Sanyal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Adamas University, Barasat, Kolkata 700126, India"}]},{"given":"Arpan","family":"Dolui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Adamas University, Barasat, Kolkata 700126, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4746-6073","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"Brand\u00e3o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and CICECO, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5984-7228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhi","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry and CICECO, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"310","DOI":"10.1021\/cm402136z","article-title":"Functional Hybrid Porous Coordination Polymers","volume":"26","author":"Matsuda","year":"2014","journal-title":"Chem.
