A novel POM-based 3D self-penetrating MOF containing Mo–N covalent bond has been isolated under hydrothermal conditions, showing an unprecedented (4,6,6)-connected topology assembled from a 2D self-threading skeleton.
The successful preparation of this species not only opens up a new approach to generate novel high-dimensional POM-based multifunctional materials, but also highlights an intriguing example of chemical topology.
