In this communication, a series of observations and data analyses coherently confirms the suitability of the novel metal–organic framework (MOF)[Zn4 (μ4-O)(μ4-4-carboxy-3, 5- dimethyl-4-carboxy-pyrazolato) 3](1) in the capture of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is worthy of attention that 1, whose crystal structure resembles that of MOF-5, exhibits remarkable thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability, as required if practical ...
