Abstract
New functional materials represent one of the attractive areas of research in materials science. It is well-known that functional materials may have wide range of applications, where they can be used as ion exchangers, molecular sieves and enhancing hydrogen storage capacity etc. Assembling organic ligands and metal ions or small metal-containing clusters can result in a class of crystalline compounds with functional structures. The applications of these materials are widely used in gas storage, gas separation, catalysis, electrochemistry, and molecular recognition. A newly assembled material with functional porous network and potential applications will be discussed along with novel structural features.
