A zirconium squarate metal-organic framework with modulator-dependent molecular sieving properties

Abstract

We report the first zirconium metal-organic framework based on squaric acid, representing the member with the smallest unit cell in the isoreticular UiO-66 family. Its molecular sieving properties are strongly influenced by the monocarboxylic acid modulator incorporated during synthesis. © 2014 Partner Organisations.
