Abstract:
A tetracarboxylic acid with a methyl-substituted siloxane core (L-H4) has been prepared and applied in the construction of water stable MOFs with low water affinity. L-H4 itself crystallizes as an interpenetrated 3D hydrogen-bonded network. Reaction of L-H4 with ZrIV/HfIV gave IMP-32-Zr/Hf - both 3D MOFs of scu topology.
