Chemical Structure from Scientific Research

The structure of TRUMOF-1 is generated by similar components, except that the linear 1,4-bdc linker is replaced by the bent 1,3-bdc isomer (beige angled panels). Clusters are arranged on a face-centred cubic lattice, with each cluster connected to six of its 12 nearest neighbours (we call this topology fcu-6). The connectivity in TRUMOF-1 is aperiodic. Shown in the centre of this panel is a representation of one possible 1 x 1 x 1 approximant. The configurational average of the TRUMOF-1 structure, which is periodic but with partial site occupancies, is represented on the right-hand side.
