title: Extending the family of Zn-based MOFs: synthetic approaches to chiral framework structures and MOFs with large pores and channels.
abstract: Tri- and pentanuclear, kinetically stable SBUs were exploited for the preparation of the novel MOFs [Zn(3)(BTEB)(2)(DMF)(2)] and (Me(2)NH(2))[Zn(5)(BTEB)(3)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(DMF)(2)]. The applied synthetic approach results in topologies that are stabilised by tritopic benzene-trisethynylbenzoic acid (BTEB) linkers giving rise to chiral frameworks with large pores or channels.
