Abstract

Two in one: A metal–organic framework obtained from three different inorganic building blocks (tetrameric Zn4O, trimeric Zn3OH, and monomeric Zn) posseses a nested cage-in-cage and framework-in-framework architecture (see picture). 24 Zn4O tetramers and eight Zn monomers form a sodalite cage into which a cubic cage made from eight Zn3(OH) trimers is nestled. Eight monomeric Zn2+ centers interconnect these two cages. Detailed facts of importance to specialist readers are published as ”Supporting Information”.
