title: A rare example of a porous Ca-MOF for the controlled release of biologically active NO.
abstract: A 1D-microporous 3D calcium tetracarboxylate MOF has been solvothermally prepared and its structure solved from single crystal data. It exhibits coordinatively unsaturated Ca(2+) Lewis acid sites able to trap and deliver nitric oxide at a biological level.
