A three-dimensional microporous metal-organic framework, Zn{sub 5}(BTA){sub 6}(TDA){sub 2} {center_dot} 15DMF {center_dot} 8H{sub 2}O (1; HBTA = 1,2,3-benzenetriazole; H{sub 2}TDA = thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid), comprising pentanuclear [Zn{sub 5}] cluster units, was obtained through an one-pot solvothermal reaction of Zn(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}, 1,2,3-benzenetriazole, and thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate. The activated 1 displays type-I N{sub 2} gas sorption behavior with a Langmuir surface area of 607 m{sup 2} g{sup -1} and exhibits interesting selective gas adsorption for C{sub 2}H{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} and CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4}.
