Abstract

Abstract : Highly porous three-dimensional Al- and Ga-MOFs with radical catecholate linker molecules were synthesized and characterized by electron diffraction, molecular simulation, Rietveld refinement and N2 sorption measurements. Abstract : Two new, microporous MOFs of framework composition ((CH3 )2 NH2 )2 [M3 O(HHTP)(HHTP˙)], M = Al 3+, Ga 3+, H6 HHTP = 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11-hexahydroxytriphenylene, are described. Electron diffraction combined with molecular simulations show that these compounds crystallize in the β-cristobalite structure, containing a new type of trinuclear inorganic building unit for MOFs and radical anions.
