A C3 symmetric ligand with three 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate units has been used to construct a metal–organic framework with a (3,24)-connected network topology, where the nanometre-sized metal–organic cuboctahedra (MOCs) have been incorporated solely into a cubic close packing (CCP) arrangement, which led to superoctahedral and supertetrahedral cavities.

An interdigitated 3-D metal–organic framework, [Cd3(OH)2L4(H2O)2], with 1-D channels was prepared using 4-aminophenyl-1H-tetrazole (HL) and Cd(ii) ions, where the host framework shows selective gas sorption behavior that is based on the different nature of the interactions between the gas and the framework rather than on the size-exclusion effect of the micropores.

An unprecedented twofold interpenetrating (3,4)-connected topology of the Cu3L4-type metal–organic framework was prepared using N,N′,N″-tris(4-pyridinyl)-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxamide (L) as a trigonal three-connection node and the copper(ii) ion as a square planar four-connection node, where the framework contains remarkably large 1-D solvent channels.
