Abstract
Quick on the uptake: Following its identification during a targeted search, the intriguing crystal structure of 3,3 ,4,4 -tetra(trimethylsilylethynyl) biphenyl was investigated. Simple removal of the included solvent provides an organic crystal with an open microporous structure that has a striking similarity to that of zeolite A (see picture). Reversible adsorption of nitrogen and hydrogen gases at 77 K confirms that the microporosity is permanent. © 2009 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
