Two novel types of lithium clusters,Li4tetramer andLi2dimer, have been created as the building blocks ofMOFs. The assembly of such unprecedented clusters with two types oftricarboxylate ligands leads to two highly open frameworks, one ofwhich exhibits a very high CO2uptake capacity among Li-basedMOFs. The work reveals the interesting and unprecedented structuralchemistry of lithium ions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
