These MOFs formulated as [Cd(ADA)(4,4'-bipy)(0.5)]center dot(DMF) (Cd-ADA-1), [Mn(ADA)(4,4'-bipy)(0.5)]center dot(DMF) (Mn-ADA-1), Zn(ADA)(4,4'-bipy)(0.5) (Zn-ADA-1), and [Mn(HADA)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(2)] (Mn-ADA-2) (ADA = 1,3-adamantanediacetate, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine and DMF = N,N'-dimethyl formamide) display interesting 1D, 2D and 3D structural features depending on the solvent of synthesis. All these MOFs were structurally determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The coordination modes of this ligand are discussed and in addition, thermal stability and hydrogen (H(2)) and carbon-dioxide (CO(2)) adsorption properties of Cd-ADA-1, Mn-ADA-1 and Zn-ADA-1 are also presented. Hydrogen sorption at 77 K and up to 1 atm is found to be 0.42, 0.72 and 1.36 wt% without saturation for Zn-ADA-1, Mn-ADA-1 and Cd-ADA-1 samples.</p>1 aPachfule, Pradip1 aPanda, Tamas1 aDey, Chandan1 aBanerjee, Rahul  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/structural-diversity-series-metal-organic-frameworks-mofs-composed-divalent-transition-0
