Abstract

Two metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with the same basic framework but different degrees of interpenetration were successfully assembled from the same tetracarboxylate ligand and Cu(II) ions in different solvents, which show remarkably different catalytic activities in CO₂ cycloaddition reactions owing to their different pore sizes.
