A synthetic
strategy to construct discrete indium–organic polyhedra has
been illustrated based on small three-membered windows from a 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate
(PDC) ligand with an angle of 120°. [Et2NH2]6[In6(PDC)12] (InOF-10) is a high-symmetry octahedron with eight three-membered windows,
and [Et2NH2]18[In18(BPDC)6(PDC)30] (InOF-11) is a complex polyhedron
derived from 3-edge-removed octahedra with an auxiliary biphenyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate
(BPDC) ligand. Moreover, the sorption behavior of the latter is also
well investigated.
