Published: August 2015

The structure of a recently-published metal-organic framework is deconstructed into its underlying net which is found to be of exceptional complexity. It is shown that this is because of local pentagonal symmetry and the structure is in fact the simplest possible (minimal transitivity) given that local symmetry.
