Interconversion between molecular polyhedra and metal-organic frameworks
Abstract
The construction of a metal-organic framework (MOF) with a pcu-a topology using a preassembled soluble molecular octahedron has been realized experimentally. The resulting MOF can also be reversibly converted to the molecular octahedron. All such conversions are based on axial-ligand substitution reactions on the molecular octahedron.
