Three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks based on tetrahedral and square-planar building blocks: hydrogen sorption and dye uptake studies

Inorg Chem. 2010 Oct 18;49(20):9107-9. doi: 10.1021/ic1009169.

Abstract

Two three-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tetraphenylmethane-derived tetracarboxylate linkers and copper paddle-wheel secondary building units were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic studies. The two MOFs show a similar 4,4-connectivity but very different homocrossing and interpenetrating PtS network topologies and exhibit permanent porosity as probed by gas adsorption and dye inclusion experiments.
