The preparation of transparent porous materials can offer a different access towards the study of molecules under solid confined space. Metal–organic frameworks represent a unique opportunity due to their tunable pore size, however aromatic linkers present strong absorption and reduce the transparency. Herein, we report the first example of a MOF with bicyclic organic dicarboxylic linkers and its use as a solid solvent.

双环[2.2.2]辛烷-1,4-二羧酸：朝向透明的金属有机骨架

透明多孔材料的制备可以为固体密闭空间下的分子研究提供不同的途径。金属-有机骨架由于孔径可调，因此是一个独特的机会，但是芳族连接基具有很强的吸收能力，并降低了透明度。本文中，我们报道了具有双环有机二羧酸连接基的MOF的第一个实例，并将其用作固体溶剂。
