title: Porous ctn-type boron imidazolate framework for gas storage and separation.
abstract: BIFing it up: The assembly between triangular HB(mim)3 units and tetrahedral Zn centers (see graphic) leads to the formation of a ctn-type BIF material with high porosity for gas storage and separation (mim = 2-methylimidazolate).
