A series of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks composed of metal nodes connected by rigid trigonal prismatic organic linkers and having a 6,12-coordinatled alb network topology are provided. Also provided are methods of synthesizing the metal-organic frameworks and methods of using the metal-organic frameworks to catalyze the hydrolysis of organic molecules, such as nerve agents, having hydrolysable bonds.

Ligand-directed reticular synthesis of metal-organic frameworks having edge-transitive ALB network topologies

Embodiments of a nanohoop-functionalized polymer and methods of making and using the same are described herein. In particular embodiments, the polymer comprises one or more nanohoops that extend from the polymer backbone. Also described are polymerizable nanohoop monomer embodiments that can be used to make the polymer embodiments.
