We demonstrate the assembly of a mononuclear metal center, a hexanuclear cluster, and a V-shaped, trapezoidal tetracarboxylate linker into a microporous MOF featuring an unprecedented 3-nodal (4,4,8)-c lyu topology. Here, the compound, HIAM-302, represents the first example that incorporates both primary building unit (PBU) and hexanuclear secondary building unit (SBU) in one structure, which should be attributed to the desymmetrized geometry of the organic linker. HIAM-302 possesses optimal pore dimensions and can separate mono-branched and di-branched alkanes through selective molecular sieving, which is of significant value in petrochemical industry.
