MOF for more gas storage : A new mesoporous metal–organic framework (MOF) with extremely high adsorption capacities for methane, H 2 , and n ‐butane is prepared from the reaction of H 3 (btb), H 2 (2,6‐ndc), and zinc nitrate (btb=benzene‐1,3,5‐tribenzoate; 2,6ndc=2,6‐naphthalenedicarboxylate). The main structural motif is a dodecahedron formed from 12 Zn 4 O 6+ clusters, four 2,6‐ndc, and eight btb linkers (see picture; green: Zn 4 O 6+ , gray: C, red: O; the red sphere illustrates the pore volume).
