and NOTT-101a MOFs, respectively, thus indicating that
phenyl rings in Zn-MOF are significantly more dynamic.
In conclusion, we have prepared and structurally characterized
a novel thermodynamically stable nanotubular Zn-MOF derived
from biphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylic acid with notable structural,
topological, and adsorption features. Hence, this rather simple
carboxylic acid can be applied as a useful but still very poorly
explored building block for the design of tubular metal−organic

frameworks with uncommon topologies. In fact, the described
herein Zn-MOF adopts a very rare ptr topology, thus
contributing to the topological classification of MOFs. It is
noteworthy that this tubular MOF material is very stable and can
retain its single crystallinity up to ca. 400 °C. Furthermore, it
exhibits a preferable affinity for p-xylene allowing its selective
uptake and separation among other xylene isomers and C8 alkyl
aromatic compounds. The results deserve further exploration,
namely toward engineering new functional metal−organic
materials with enhanced adsorption characteristics.
