title: Porous lanthanide-organic framework with zeolite-like topology.
abstract: Two novel isomorphous porous frameworks of Ln(III), {[Ln2(imidc)2(H2O)3](H2O)}n, [Ln = Gd(III) (1) and Er(III) (2)] have been synthesized hydrothermally using multifunctional 4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid (imidc) as a connector; they have a zeolite-like network topology which can provide another form upon dehydration, and exhibit selective adsorption properties for H2O over N2, CO2 and MeOH.
