Definition
1. Crystalline substance.
2. Framework consists of linked tetrahedra.
3. Tetrahedron consists of O atoms surrounding the
cation.
4. Framework contains open cavities.
5. Cavities are usually occupied by H2O molecules and
extra-framework cations that are usually exchangeable.
6. The channels are large enough to pass the guest
species.
7. The framework may be interrupted.
