The tetratopic ligand tetrathiafulvalene-tetrabenzoate (H4TTFTB) is used to synthesize Zn2(TTFTB), a new metal–organic framework that contains columnar stacks of tetrathiafulvalene and benzoate-lined infinite one-dimensional channels. The new MOF remains porous upon desolvation and exhibits charge m...
