Pillar-Layered Metal–Organic Frameworks Based on a Hexaprismane [Co6(μ3-OH)6] Cluster: Structural Modulation and Catalytic Performance in Aerobic Oxidation Reaction

“…By virtue of it, the [Co 6 (μ 3 –OH) 6 ] cluster was thus viewed as the coplanar 6-connected building, which could be matched with tritopic linkers to form 2D kgd nets . Subsequently, these 2D nets are capable of being supported to generate a 3D tfz -d framework, a typical topology in pillar-layered MOFs. , In this case, the six coordinated sites at the top and bottom of hexaprismane [Co 6 (μ 3 –OH) 6 ] cluster can be partly or fully dominated by two-connected linkers instead of terminal moieties. Clearly, the unique [Co 6 (μ 3 –OH) 6 ] cluster is suitable for the construction of functional pillar-layered MOFs, in which the structures and properties could be purposively tuned by the substituted pillars or layers.…”
