Abstract

The cubohemioctahedral supermolecular building blocks, SBBs, of formula [M₆(bdc)₁₂]^12- (M = Ni, Co) (as illustrated) have the requisite symmetry to be cross-linked by rigid tetracarboxylato ligands in such a manner that 12-connected fcu nets with nanoscale features are generated. 3,5-H₄ATC, L1, facilitates a structure with Ni that exhibits cavities with >2 nm maximum dimensions, whereas H₄BIPA-TC, L2, forms a net with Co or Ni that exhibits cavities with >3 nm maximum dimensions.
