A microporous oxalamide-functionalized NbO-type metal–organic framework, HNUST-3, has been designed and synthesized by self-assembling [Cu2(COO)4] paddlewheel SBUs and a novel tetracarboxylate ligand with linking oxalamide groups. HNUST-3 represents the first example of a porous oxalamide-functional...
