Abstract
A Zn(II)-based metal–organic framework (MOF) exhibits enhanced thermal stability after incorporation of a newly synthesised di-4-pyridyl closo-1,12-carborane ligand. Our synthetic approach can be generalised to other linker geometries and symmetries, and paves the way to an expanded ligand pool for preparing carborane-derived polymeric assemblies.
