A novel topological indium–organic framework for reversible ammonia uptake under mild conditions and catalysis

An unprecedented trinodal 3,3,4-connected 3D MOF, [In 8 ( μ 2 -OH) 6 ( μ 2 -H 2 O) 3 L 6 Cl 6 ]·5DMF·4H 2 O (L = 2,2′-dimethylbiphenyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate), has been built to show an NH 3 uptake of 10.4 mmol g −1 at 273 K with the regeneration temperature of 60 °C.
