Assembly of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) based on indium-trimer building blocks: A porous MOF with soc topology and high hydrogen storage

Abstract

(Figure Presented) The key to soc-cess: The trimer building block [In 3O(CO2)6] and a tetracarboxylate organic linker assemble into a novel porous metal-organic framework (see picture; In green, C gray, N blue, O red; cavity: yellow sphere) having an unprecedented soc topology (soc = square-octahedron) and high H2 uptake. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
