    Negative thermal expansion in the metal-organic framework material Cu-3(1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate)(2)

    The metal–organic framework [Cu3(btc)2] displays negative thermal expansion (NTE) over a broad temperature range. This property arises from two coincident mechanisms, each of which are unique for NTE systems: the concerted transverse vibration of triangular organic linkers, and the local dynamic distortion of dinuclear metal centers within the framework lattice. © 2008, Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin
