Unusual pore structure and sorption behaviour in a hexanodal zinc–organic framework material†
Abstract
A highly porous metal–organic framework structurally consists of three topological kinds of 3-connected 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate ligands, Zn2(COO)4, Zn3O(COO)6 and Zn4O(COO)6 SBUs, featuring a new 3,3,3,4,4,6-c hexanodal topology. Sorption behaviour in this complicated microporous MOF material has also been investigated.
