A zinc(II) metal-organic framework based on triazole and dicarboxylate ligands for selective adsorption of hexane isomers.

A three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic framework {[Zn(2)(HBDC)(2)(dmtrz)(2)]·guest}(n) with pcu net has been solvothermally synthesized, which shows selective adsorption of linear and monobranched hexane isomers over a dibranched one.
