Electron diffraction combined with molecular simulations show that these compounds crystallize in the β-cristobalite structure, containing a new type of trinuclear inorganic building unit for MOFs and radical anions.The support by the Stiftelsen för Strategisk Forskning (Sweden) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Germany, grant STO 643/10-1) is gratefully acknowledged.5en© 2020 The Author(s)Hexahydroxytriphenylene for the synthesis of group 13 MOFs-a new inorganic building unit in a β-cristobalite type structure2020-02-0710.1039/d0dt00235f85081753031
