Abstract

The discovery of porous molecular solids has been constantly hindered by phase transformation and interpenetration. Here, we crystallize two molecules with three substituted carboxylic groups. A mesoporous, non-interpenetrated HOF that is constructed from 1,3,5-tri(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (TCPB) is discovered and reported for the first time.
