A microporous [Ni3(μ3-OH)] cluster-based framework with 9-connected ncb topology

Two robust metal–organic frameworks with uncoordinated N atoms for CO2adsorption

Two highly porous metal–organic frameworks are successfully constructed through the assembling of Co/Ni ions and mixed ligands. From the contribution of the uncoordinated tetrazolate N atoms of the ligand the two complexes show high CO₂adsorption capacities, serving as potential CO₂adsorption materials.

[M3(μ3-O)(O2CR)6] and related trigonal prisms: versatile molecular building blocks for crystal engineering of metal–organic material platforms

This review details the emergence of metal–organic materials (MOMs) sustained by high symmetry trigonal prismatic molecular building blocks (MBBs).

Porous coordination polymers constructed from anisotropic metal–carboxylate–pyridyl clusters

While isotropic metal–carboxylate clusters as secondary building blocks have enabled the rational design of porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with predictable topologies, augmented metal–carboxylate–pyridyl clusters can be used as anisotropic secondary building blocks to facilitate the construction of higher-connectivity frameworks and control over structural directionality in self-assembly.
