A new organic hexacarboxylic acid, 5,5',5 ''-(9H-carbazole-3,6,9-triyl)triisophthalic acid (H(6)CTIA), was developed to construct its first microporous metal organic framework (MOP), Cu-6(CTIA)(2) (ZJU-70). With open metal sites and suitable pore sizes, this MOP exhibits high acetylene and methane storage capacities at room temperature.
