A Mn(ii)–MOF with inherent missing metal-ion defects based on an imidazole-tetrazole tripodal ligand and its application in supercapacitors†
Abstract
A metal–organic framework (MOF), namely SCNU-Z3, based on an imidazole-tetrazole tripodal ligand and Mn(II), has been constructed. It exhibits a porous 3D framework composed of truncated octahedron cage subunits. Unexpected ligand-induced missing metal-ion defects were observed in the framework. In addition, the application of SCNU-Z3 in a supercapacitor was performed.
