Abstract
The synthesis and structure of a new, highly
augmented {Cu2} ‘paddlewheel’-based metal-organic framework
(MOF) that is stabilized by tritopic benzoate ligands is reported.
The structure adopts an uncommon, less-symmetrical (3,4)-
connected net topology and represents a rare framework isomer
of the extensively studied {Cu2}-based pto and tbo analogues.
The concomitant formation of three isomeric forms using {Cu}2-
‘paddlewheel’ complexes and a single triangular, tri-functional
ligand is unique and stems from the rotational flexibility of the
benzoate moieties. Computational analyses support the
structural studies and underline that this observed net topology
can give rise to an exceptionally high surface area (>3500 m2/g),
despite the triple-interpenetrated nature of the compound.
