a Chemical structure of the ZrCp2Cl2. b Chemical structure of the ligand H2L. c Chemical structure of the MOCs. Zr, blue sphere; O, red sphere; C, gray sphere; H, light gray sphere. Counterions (Cl-) and solvent molecules are omitted for clarity. d Top view of the cluster node. e–g the (Cp3Zr3)2L3-MOC dimer structure, lattice packing, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrum of Red-1. The mass spectrum peak of 1,231.9768 corresponds to [M − 2Cl]2+ (M = {[Cp3Zr3(μ3-O)(μ2-OH)3]2L3}Cl2, Red-1), exptl m/z = 1,231.9768; calcd m/z = 1,231.9949. h–j the MOC dimer structure, lattice packing, and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrum of Orange-1. The mass spectrum peak at 1,231.9740 correspond to [M − 2Cl]2+ (Orange-1), exptl m/z = 1,231.9740; calcd m/z = 1,231.9949.
