A zeolite supramolecular framework with LTA topology based on a tetrahedral metal–organic cage

Abstract

An unprecedented zeolite supramolecular framework featuring truncated cuboctahedral and truncated octahedral cavities was self-assembled from tetrahedral metal–organic cationic cages and tetrahedral anions. This crystalline porous material could trap iodine and organic dye molecules, and its solid state spin-crossover behavior was affected by guest encapsulation.
