A Strategy for Synthesis of Ionic Metal-Organic Frameworks

For the first time, we designed and synthesized a new kind of ionic metal-organic framework with lanthanide ions and a carboxyl-functionalized ionic liquid, including [Er4(μ3-OH)4(μ2-O)0·5OL4(H2O)3]·Br2.90·Cl1.10·2H2O (MOF-1) and [PrL(H2O)4Cl]·Br·H2O(MOF-2).
