First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A mesoscopic material that is comprised of an ordered superlattice of a plurality of two to eight structurally different nano- or micro-porous metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals, wherein the ordered superlattice comprises interlocking well-organized nanocrystals, and wherein the mesoscopic material exhibits chemical and physical properties that result from the interplay between nanoscopic MOF building blocks at the mesoscopic level. 2. The mesoscopic material of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of MOF nanocrystals are comprised of a plurality of linked M-X-L units, wherein M is a metal, metal ion, or metal containing complex; X is an atom from an organic linking ligand that can form one or more bonds with M; and L is an organic linking ligand comprising an optionally substituted (C 1 -C 20 ) alkyl, optionally substituted (C 1 -C 20 ) alkenyl, optionally substituted (C 1 -C 20 ) alkynyl, optionally substituted (C 1 -C 20 ) hetero-alkyl, optionally substituted (C 1 -C 20 ) hetero-alkenyl, optionally substituted (C 1 -C 20 ) hetero-alkynyl, optionally substituted (C 3 -C 12 ) cycloalkyl, optionally substituted (C 3 -C 12 ) cycloalkenyl, optionally substituted aryl, optionally substituted heterocycle or optionally substituted mixed ring system, wherein the organic linking ligand comprises at least two or more carboxylate linking clusters. 3.
