How keeping the SBU and network topology fixed while lengthening the organic linker produces a family of frameworks with the same net but progressively larger pores, up to the point where interpenetration sets in.

Fixed SBU: e.g. Zn4O carboxylate clusterChoose linker lengthCompact framework: e.g. MOF-5 IRMOF-1Expanded framework: larger pore, same netDoes a second network interpenetrate the pores?Very large pore framework, same netInterpenetrated framework: reduced usable pore volumeShort linker: benzene-dicarboxylateMedium linker: biphenyl-dicarboxylateLong linker: terphenyl-dicarboxylate or longerNoYes
