The porous metal organic framework material is very popular as an innovative functional material. The flexible tetra-carboxylic acid is one type of chelate ligand, barely used to construct metal-organic framework. The rigid di-carboxylic acid is one type of efficient ligand to construct transition metal-organic framework. However, both of the two acids are unable to meet the high coordination demand of rare earth, therefore, it is very difficult to construct a stable porous framework by using the two type of ligands alone.  By using flexible tetra-carboxylic acid and rigid di-carboxylic acid, will some new porous and stable MOFs be prepared? Thank you for your review on this project.
