title: A porous metal-organic framework with a unique hendecahedron-shaped cage: structure and controlled drug release.
abstract: A porous MOF constructed from a [Cu2(COO)4] secondary building unit, H3L (H3L = [1,1';3',1'']terphenyl-4,5',4''-tricarboxylic acid), and pyrazine ligands features a unique hendecahedron cage-like cavity with good stability and a high BET surface area of 3235 m(2) g(-1), showing good controlled drug release property of ibuprofen over those of anethole and guaiacol.
