Abstract

A major driving force behind the recent surge of interest in metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)[1] lies with their amenability to design using crystal engineering [2a–d] strategies. In particular, MOFs with specific composition and topology can be targeted by judicious selection of organic linkers and metal-based molecular building blocks [2e–g](MBBs) that serve as nodes.[2] Furthermore, their modular nature means that prototypal MOFs can ...
