A new isoreticular class of metal-organic-frameworks with the MIL-88 topology

Chem Commun (Camb). 2006 Jan 21:(3):284-6. doi: 10.1039/b512169h. Epub 2005 Dec 1.

Abstract

We report here a new family of isoreticular MOFs, comprising three larger analogues of the nanoporous metallocarboxylate MIL-88; these solids were synthesized using a controlled SBU approach and the three crystal structures were solved using an original simulation-assisted structure determination method in direct space.
