title: Construction of a trigonal bipyramidal cage-based metal-organic framework with hydrophilic pore surface via flexible tetrapodal ligands.
abstract: A pcu network can be ordered through trigonal bipyramidal nanocages as secondary building blocks, which have the striking feature of hydrophilic affinity to the polar molecules and π-π interactions for aromatic molecules.
