Two new 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (amtrz)-based 3D MOFs, [Cu 4 (amtrz) 2 (m 3 -OH) 2 (btc) 2 ] n (1), and [Cu 5 (amtrz) 2 (H 2 O) 2 (m 3 -OH) 2 (btec) 2 ] n (2) (btc 3À ¼ 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate and btec 4À ¼ 1,2,4,5benzenetetracarboxylate), were hydrothermally synthesized and structurally and magnetically characterized. Each cationic [Cu 4 (amtrz) 2 (m 3 -OH) 2 ] 6+ cluster in 1 is periodically extended into an infinite 3,6-connected rtl-type topological network via six btc 3À ligands. In contrast, analogous Cu II 4 clusters to 1 and square-planar Cu II 1 cores in 2 are alternately interlinked through btec 4À linkers to generate a 3D
