title: Induction of trimeric [Mg3(OH)(CO2)6] in a porous framework by a desymmetrized tritopic ligand.
abstract: The use of a desymmetrized tritopic ligand with both carboxyl and pyridyl functionalities leads to the first occurrence of the [Mg(3)(μ(3)-OH)(CO(2))(6)] trimer as the 3-D framework building block in a porous crystal that shows relatively high H(2) uptake (1.37% at 77 K and 1 atm).
