An organic imidazolium salt of terephthalic acid has been utilized as a linker precursor for the synthesis of an aluminum-based metal organic framework (MOF) with MIL-53(ht) structure. This material shows the predicted porosity in terms of nitrogen and hydrogen sorption without exhibiting the breathing effect typical for MIL-53(Al) materials.
