Abstract

Functionalization of the ligand 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H(3)BTB) has been realized with methoxy (H(3)BTB-[OMe](3)) and hydroxy (H(3)BTB-[OH](3)) groups. Combining H(3)BTB-[OMe](3) and Zn(II) results in the formation of the first isostructural, functionalized analogue of MOF-177 (MOF-177-OMe), while the combination of H(3)BTB-[OH](3) and Zn(II) generates a rare, interpenetrated pcu-e framework.
