A synthetic strategy to construct discrete indium鈥搊rganic polyhedra has been illustrated based on small three-membered windows from a 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (PDC) ligand with an angle of 120掳. [Et<sub>2sub>NH<sub>2sub>]<sub>6sub>[In<sub>6sub>(PDC)<sub>12sub>] (InOF-10) is a high-symmetry octahedron with eight three-membered windows, and [Et<sub>2sub>NH<sub>2sub>]<sub>18sub>[In<sub>18sub>(BPDC)<sub>6sub>(PDC)<sub>30sub>] (InOF-11) is a complex polyhedron derived from 3-edge-removed octahedra with an auxiliary biphenyl-3,3鈥?dicarboxylate (BPDC) ligand. Moreover, the sorption behavior of the latter is also well investigated.
