This guy works on a lot of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Here's an example article. If this is not what you're looking for, try other articles.

“Metal-Organic Polyhedra Constructed from Dinuclear Ruthenium Paddlewheels”, Young, M. D.; Zhang, Q.; Zhou, H.-C.,Inorg. Chem. Acta, 2015, 424, 216-220.

From this article, we have #[Cu_(12)(T TDC)_(12)(NMP)_6-(H_2O)_6]cdot13NMPcdotDMAcdotH_2O#, or MOP-28:

http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/ja052055c

It is known as a truncated octahedron, and it was synthesized by reacting equimolar amounts of #"Cu"("NO"_3)_2cdot2.5"H"_2"O"# and #"H"_2"TTDC"# at #85^@ "C"# for 24 hours in a mixture of 2-methyl-1-pyrrolidinone (#"NMP"#) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (#"DMA"#).

The building blocks were #"Cu"_2("CO"_2)_4# and the linking units were cis,cis-terthiophene. Ignoring terminal ligands, the overall diameter was #"27 Å"#. The diameter of the #8# triangular apertures are #"9.0 Å"#.

The structure is stable up to #200^@ "C"# without housing any guests. Each molecule has been able to adsorb around #"337 mg/g"# of #"N"_2# molecules (57 #"N"_2# molecules).
