Hydrogen Storage in the Giant‐Pore Metal–Organic Frameworks MIL‐100 and MIL‐101

Large hydrogen-storage capacity at liquid-nitrogen temperature is exhibited by the metal–organic framework MIL-101. In the zeotype architecture of this porous solid (see picture) each intersection of the cages is occupied by a supertetrahedron formed by trimers of chromium octahedra assembled with benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate ligands.
