Abstract: A novel synthetic approach, based on the use of heterometallic molecular clusters as messenger building units (mBUs), allows for the precise control of multimetal configurations in the structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through one-pot reactions. These units are then transformed into the MOF structural constituents, preserving their originally encoded atomic combination. This approach is extensible to the formation of MOFs with diverse topologies through the use of linkers with different connectivities.
Furthermore, multimetal MOFs are used to obtain new derivative materials through thermal treatments, incorporating multiple metal elements into unique structure materials. These MOF-derived materials possess specific features that are contingent on the parent MOF metal combination, exhibiting enhanced properties depending on their structure and composition.
