A zeolite-like MOF based on a heterotritopic linker of imidazolyl, carboxyl and pyridine with a long-sought uks net on Schwarz's D-surface

Abstract

The title MOF features a potential uninodal zeolite net, uks, which has never been found for real zeolites or zeolite-like MOFs. This rare structure exhibits specific anion binding of N₃⁻ over SCN⁻ in water, which reverses the Hofmeister series.
