Abstract

A microporous metal-organic framework (MOF), PCN-922 [Cu(4)(ETTB)], containing a dendritic octatopic organic linker and a Cu(2)-paddlewheel structural motif, has been synthesized by using a Zn(2)-paddlewheel-based MOF as a template to prearrange the linkers for the Cu(2)-based MOF target. PCN-922 shows permanent porosity and excellent gas adsorption capacity.
