A cluster-based mesoporous Ti-MOF with sodalite supercages†
Abstract
The cooperative assembly of a hexagonal column shaped [Ti6O6][iPrO]66+ cluster and rhomboid Cu2I2 dimers using isonicotinic acid results in an unprecedented three-dimensional (3D) highly crystalline cluster-based Ti-MOF that features both giant sodalite cages with an inner diameter of 2.8 × 3.2 nm2 and 3D open square channels.
