“…However, the construction of these kinds of CPs remains a challenge, because the construction of CPs is mainly dependent on the combination of several factors, such as the organic ligands, solvents, pH values, temperatures and metal atoms [17][18][19]. Among these, the organic anions play crucial roles in the construction of CPs because of their coordination and structure directing roles [20]. In this regard, aromatic multicarboxylic ligands, such as 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H 3 btc) and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (H 4 btec), as an important type of organic anions, have been extensively used as multifunctional organic linkers for the construction of CPs [20][21][22][23][24].…”
