Abstract
Rod MOFs are metal-organic frameworks in which the metal-containing secondary building units consist of infinite rods of linked metal-centered polyhedra. For such materials, we identify the points of extension, often atoms, which define the interface between the organic and inorganic components of the structure. The pattern of points of extension defines a shape such as a helix, ladder, helical ribbon, or cylinder tiling. The linkage of these shapes into a three-dimensional framework in turn defines a net characteristic of the original structure. Some scores of rod MOF structures are illustrated and deconstructed into their underlying nets in this way. Crystallographic data for all nets in their maximum…
