Abstract

Abstract : An unusual (3, 4, 4)-connected MOF topology has been reproduced by a BTB ligand which was previously judged to be not feasible to form this network. Abstract : An unusual (3, 4, 4)-connected MOF topology has been reproduced by a 4, 4′, 4′′-benzene-1, 3, 5-triyl-tribenzoate (BTB) ligand which was previously judged to be not feasible to form this network. The outcome demonstrates that supramolecular interactions play a key role in the formation of this highly distorted network. Moreover, this triple interpenetrated framework exhibits high BET surface area.
