title: Channel partition into nanoscale polyhedral cages of a triple-self-interpenetrated metal-organic framework with high CO2 uptake.
abstract: Reported herein is a novel porous metal-organic framework (MOF) exhibiting unique nanoscale cages derived from the 3-fold self-interpenetration of chiral eta networks based on trifurcate {Zn2(CO2)3} building blocks and 1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene ligands. The attractive self-interpenetrated structural features contribute to the highest CO2 uptake capacity and CO2 binding ability among the interpenetrated MOFs.
