The incorporation of heterovalent copper-oxo and copper-halide clusters for the fabrication of three porous cluster organic frameworks: syntheses, structures and iodine adsorption/release study

Three porous cluster organic frameworks constructed from the paddle-wheel Cu₂(CO₂)₄ and cubane-like Cu₄I₄ clusters have been synthesized and characterized. Interestingly, compound 2 shows moderate gas uptake ability and I₂ adsorption/release feature.
