title: Rhodium-Organic Cuboctahedra as Porous Solids with Strong Binding Sites.
abstract: The upbuilding of dirhodium tetracarboxylate paddlewheels into porous architectures is still challenging because of the inertness of equatorial carboxylates for ligand-exchange reaction. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of a new family of metal-organic cuboctahedra by connecting dirhodium units through 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate and assembling cuboctahedra as porous solids. Carbon monoxide and nitric oxide were strongly trapped in the internal cavity thanks to the strong affinity of unsaturated axial coordination sites of dirhodium centers.
