A hexagon based Mn(ii) rod metal–organic framework – structure, SF6 gas sorption, magnetism and electrochemistry†
Abstract
A manganese(II) metal–organic framework based on the hexatopic hexakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene, cpb6−: [Mn3(cpb)(dmf)3], was solvothermally prepared showing a Langmuir area of 438 m2 g−1, rapid uptake OF sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as well as electrochemical and magnetic properties, while single crystal diffraction reveals an unusual rod-MOF topology.
