A new Al-MOF based on a unique column-shaped inorganic building unit exhibiting strongly hydrophilic sorption behaviour

Abstract

The new Al-based metal–organic framework [Al13(OH)27(H2O)6(BDC-NH2)3Cl6(C3H7OH)6] denoted CAU-6 (CAU = Christian-Albrechts-Universität) was solvothermally synthesized in 2-propanol and was thoroughly characterized. The framework structure exhibits a unique column-shaped inorganic building unit, which is based on stacked, corner-sharing Al13-clusters. The compound exhibits unprecedented hydrophilicity for metal–organic frameworks.
