Porous metal-organic frameworks based on metal-organic polyhedra with nanosized cavities as supramolecular building blocks: Two-fold interpenetrating primitive cubic networks of [CU6L8](12+) nanocages
Discrete metal-organic polyhedra (MOP) with nanosized cavities and/or clusters of MOP could be prepared when C-3-symmetric facial ligands and a potential hexatopic Cu(II) ion are combined in the presence of perchlorate as a weak linker, while similar reaction conditions in the presence of a nitrate linker led to extended metal-organic frameworks made of MOP as supramolecular building blocks.
