Tuning the sorption properties via activation treatments of a metastable Zn-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate framework with dodecahedral and cubic cages†
Abstract
Presented here is a metastable metal–organic framework built from the alternating connection of dodecahedral and cubic cages. To enhance its sorption properties, three kinds of different activation treatments were performed to decrease the deleterious effect of solvent surface tension during activation processes.
