Trigonal planar M₃(O/OH) trimers are among the most important clusters in inorganic chemistry and are the foundational features of multiple high-impact MOF platforms. Here we introduce a concept called isoreticular cluster series and demonstrate that M₃(O/OH), as the first member of a supertrimer series, can be combined with a higher hierarchical member (double-deck trimer here) to advance isoreticular chemistry. We report here an isoreticular series of pore-space-partitioned MOFs called M₃M₆ pacs made from co-assembly between M₃ single-deck trimer and M_3x2 double-deck trimer. Important factors were identified on this multi-modular MOF platform to guide optimization of each module, which enables the phase selection of M₃M₆ pacs by overcoming the formation of previously-always-observed same-cluster phases. The new pacs materials exhibit high surface area and high uptake capacity for CO₂ and small hydrocarbons, as well as selective adsorption properties relevant to separation of industrially important mixtures such as C₂H₂/CO₂ and C₂H₂/C₂H₄. Furthermore, new M₃M₆ pacs materials show electrocatalytic properties with high activity.
