Abstract

A new magnesium metal-organic framework (MOF) based on an asymmetrical ligand, biphenyl-3,4',5-tricarboxylate (H(3)BPT), has been synthesized and structurally characterized. MOF Mg(3)(BPT)(2)(H(2)O)(4) (1) consists of 1D hexagonal nanotube-like channels and exhibits pronounced hydrogen-sorption hysteresis at medium pressure.
