Metal organic frameworks have continued to receive immense attention in the chemical literature in recent years. As the field grows there is a shift towards the construction of frameworks with appealing properties that meet specific needs, with hydrogen gas storage being one of the most attractive. For this reason various ligands have been developed to generate a diverse array of structures. In light of this we have employed a number of calix[4]resorcinarene derivatives in the construction of these frameworks. It is hoped that the inclusion properties inherent to these cavitand ligands may lead to metal organic materials that benefit from them. This strategy has led to intriguing architectures which will be highlighted in the presentation.
