A novel polyoxometalate-templated chiral three-fold interpenetrated metal-organic framework: Synthesis, structure and properties

A novel metal-organic framework (MOF), namely, [Ag3(tptz)3(Mo5O17)](H3O)(H2O)1.5 (1), where tptz = 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine, has been prepared under hydrothermal condition. Compound 1 is a chiral three-fold interpenetrated 3D MOF, in which the [Mo5O17]4 − anions act as templates, encapsulated in the chiral channels of the 3D framework.
