We have prepared several metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) which utilize tris(dipyrrinato)gallium or tris(dipyrrinato)indium metalloligands.  The metalloligands are not stable to column chromatography.  An isolation procedure for the free-base dipyrrin was devised in order to facilitate the preparation of the dipyrrinato complexes.  The synthesis and characterization of the dipyrrin, metalloligands, and MOFs will be discussed.  All of the compounds have been characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography, including a rare example of a free-base dipyrrin.  Similarities and differences between the present MOFs and their cobalt and iron congeners1 will also be discussed.
