Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are currently attracting considerable attention,[1] largely because of their potential for porosity, and their consequent use in applications as diverse as gas storage,[2] catalysis,[3] separations,[4] and drug delivery.[5] The first generation of MOFs were formed by linking together metal centers with simple, commercially available bridging ligands, such as 1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate (bdc),[6] but there has since been an ...
