Metal-organic frameworks based upon non-zeotype 4-connected topology

Dong-Sheng Li*, Ya-Pan Wu, Jun Zhao, Jian Zhang*, Jack Y. Lu*

In this review, we focus on the recent advances in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that possess more common non-zeotype 4-connected topological nets (such as sql, kag, nbo, lvt, cds, qtz, dia, lon, pts, etc.), and discuss the synthetic strategies of non-zeotype 4-connected MOFs and their related properties. Particularly, we emphasize how to establish basic design principles and synthetic methodology to construct the same topological MOFs with different functions using specifically designed organic linkers.
