Rational design of a flu-type heterometallic cluster-based Zr-MOF†
Abstract
Following the HSAB principle, the cooperative assembly of tetrahedral [Cu4I4(Ina)4]4− metalloligands and 8-connecting [Zr6(μ3-OH)8(OH)8]8+ building units leads to the first heterometallic cluster-based Zr-MOF (1). The results provide a successful strategy for rational design of heterometallic cluster-based Zr-MOFs.
