China S *Supporting Information ABSTRACT: A Mn(II)-based homometallic porous metal − o r g a n i c f r a m e w o r k , M n 5 ( b t a c ) 4 ( μ 3 - OH) (EtOH) ·DMF·3EtOH·3H O (1, btac = benzotriazole- 2 2 2 5-carboxylate), has been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravi- metric analysis, and X-ray crystallographic study. 1 is a 3D neutral framework featuring 1D porous channels constructed by {Mn−OH−Mn}n chains and btac linkers. Magnetic studies show that 1 is a 3D metamagnet containing 1D {Mn−OH− Mn}n ferrimagnetic chains. High-pressure H2 adsorption measurement at 77 K reveals that activated 1 can absorb 0.99 wt % H2 at 0.5 atm and reaches a maximum of 1.03 wt % at 5.5 atm. The steep H2 absorption at lower pressure (98.2% of the storage capacity at 0.5 atm) is higher than the corresponding values of some MOFs (MIL-100 (16.1%), MOF-177 (57.1%), and MOF-5 (22.2%)). Furthermore, activated 1 can adsorb CO2 at room temperature a
