Self-assembled metal-organic framework composed of one-dimensional Rh(II/III) chains with an octahedral [RhN6] coordination

A mixed-valence rhodium(II/III)-based metal-organic framework with an octahedral [RhN₆] coordination was synthesised for the first time in this study. The porous structure leads to a considerable amount of N₂, H₂, and CO₂ gas adsorption and a relatively high proton conductivity when water molecules are adsorbed in the channel pores.
