A hexagon based Mn(ii) rod metal-organic framework - structure, SF6 gas sorption, magnetism and electrochemistry

Abstract

A manganese(ii) metal-organic framework based on the hexatopic hexakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene, cpb6−: [Mn3(cpb)(dmf)3], was solvothermally prepared showing a Langmuir area of 438 m2 g−1, rapid uptake of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as well as electrochemical and magnetic properties, while single crystal diffraction reveals an unusual rod-MOF topology.
