Abstract

The large-pore iron(III) carboxylate MIL-100(Fe) with a zeotype architecture has been isolated under hydrothermal conditions, its structure solved from synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, while Friedel-Crafts benzylation catalytic tests indicate a high activity and selectivity for MIL-100(Fe).
