Bridging ligands have been targeted and synthesized to contain N-, O- chelating functionalities, which can be employed in combination with MN4 single-metal-ion-based MBBs to construct novel metal-organic frameworks having extra-large cavities and zeolite-like topologies, including sod-ZMOF-2 and rho-ZMOF-2. The porosity, ion exchange, and hydrogen storage potential of these materials are studied.
