Four crystalline, porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), based on a new hexatopic linker, 1',2',3',4',5',6'-hexakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene (H6CPB), were synthesized and fully characterized. Interestingly, two members of this series exhibited new topologies, namely, htp and hhp, which were previously unseen in MOF chemistry. Gas adsorption measurements revealed that all members exhibited high CO2 selectivity over N2 and CH4.

The identification and characterization of defects, on the molecular level, in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) remain a challenge. With the extensive use of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), the missing linker defects in the zirconium-based MOF UiO-66, Zr6 O4 (OH)4 (C8 H4 O4 )6 , have been identified as water molecules coordinated directly to the zirconium centers. Charge balancing is achieved by hydroxide anions, which are hydrogen bonded within the pores of the framework.
