Precursor-Modulated Synthesis Enables a Stable and Activatable Mn(III) Formate With the ReO3-Type Topology.

Key Points

• The main aim is to develop a stable and activatable Mn(III) formate synthesis method.
• Utilized precursor-modulated synthesis to stabilize Mn(III) formate.
• Focused on the ReO3-type topology for structural design.
• Achieved stabilization of a redox-active, earth-abundant transition metal.
• Expanded the family of M(III)-formate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Highlighted applications in gas storage and catalysis.
