Crystal structure of [Zn2(btca)(DMSO)2]n (Zn-MOF). (a) Asymmetric part of the unit cell of the crystal lattice with the atom labeling. The displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level and the H atoms are shown as small spheres of arbitrary radius; (b) general view on the 3D framework along the c-axis with open rhomboidal channels (colored in red), occupied by the DMSO molecules (colored in blue). The H-atoms were omitted for clarity; (c) topological view of the simplified sda net along the a- (left) and c- (right) axes.
