Abstract

Edge-transitive nets are regarded as appropriate blueprints for the practice of reticular chemistry, and in particular, for the rational design and synthesis of functional metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Among edge-transitive nets, type I edge-transitive nets have unique coordination figures, offering only one edge-transitive target for their associated expressed net-cBUs. Here, we report the reticulation of the binodal edge-transitive (6, 6)-c nia net in MOF chemistry, namely, the deliberate assembly of trinuclear aluminum clusters and 6-connected hexacarboxylate ligands into highly porous nia-MOFs. Further studies reveal that Al-nia-MOF-1 shows promising attributes as a storage media for oxygen (O2) at high-pressure adsorption studies.
