Abstract: Biphenyl-3,4',5-tricarboxylate is used with Cu(II) for generating a highly porous crystalline material containing both the common binuclear Cu(II) paddlewheel cluster and the exotic trinuclear Cu(II) cluster. This material has displayed relatively high excess gravimetric and volumetric [H.sub.2] uptake.
