A new type of polyhedron-based metal-organic frameworks with interpenetrating cationic and anionic nets demonstrating ion exchange, adsorption and luminescent properties

An interesting new MOF, built with interpenetrating cationic (MOF-A(+)) and anionic (MOF-B-) nets that do not require counter ions to balance charge, together with an architectural strategy focused on the use of MOPs as nodes and MOCs as spacers for the generation of 3D frameworks, is reported.
