The construction of MOFs with light building blocks has been the subject of intense research. Lightweight frameworks are useful to enhance hydrogen storage gravimetrically. The suitable metal for the construction of lightweight frameworks is Magnesium. The network topology based on magnesium strongly depends on the nature of organic linkers and solvents rather than the nature of the magnesium centers. Figure 1. <img src='https://acs-archive-assets2.s3.amazonaws.com/240nm/uploads/47004_mag_holl_poster_figure.jpg' alt='' /> To find out the gas storage capacity and the topology, two-dimensional layer structures of Magnesium carboxylates are synthesized.
