Porous indium-organic frameworks and systematization of structural building blocks

Abstract

The indium family tree: The discovery of an elusive dimeric indium cluster together with super-trimeric indium clusters in five porous indium-organic frameworks reveals the systematics of indium-based building blocks and their cooperative and competitive roles in the crystallization of chiral and achiral porous frameworks. One of these materials has the smallest possible charge-balancing organic cation and a very high Langmuir surface area. © 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
