Abstract

The polyhedral complex [Cu(4)L(H(2)O)(4)]solv (NOTT-140) shows a 4,8-connected structure of rare scu topology comprising octahedral and cuboctahedral cages; desolvated NOTT-140a shows a total CO(2) uptake of 314.6 cm(3) (STP) cm(-3) at 20 bar, 293 K, and a total H(2) uptake of 6.0 wt% at 20 bar, 77 K.
