“…Metal-azolate frameworks (MAFs) (Zhang et al, 2012) based on imidazole (Him) (Wang et al, 2008;Tian et al, 2007), pyrazole (Hpz) (Salles et al, 2010), 1,2,4-triazole (Hta) (Zhang & Chen, 2008;Yang et al, 2007Yang et al, , 2009 and tetrazole (Htta) ligands (Zhao et al, 2008;Panda et al, 2011;Cui et al, 2012;Dang et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2011) have attracted much attention due to their intriguing molecular topologies and potential applications in sensors (Kreno et al, 2012), luminescence (Liu et al, 2012) and magnetism (Dechambenoit & Long, 2011). Among these MAFs, the five-membered heterocyclic tetrazole ligand is suitable for the design and preparation of various MAFs, because the tetrazole ring displays strong -donor and weak -acceptor properties, and can adopt nine coordination modes (i.e.…”
