We report an unprecedented ligand-based binding domain for D<sub>2</sub> within a porous metal-organic framework (MOF) material as confirmed by neutron powder diffraction studies of D<sub>2</sub>-loaded MFM-132a. A tight pocket of 6 Å diameter is formed by the close packing of three anthracene panels, and it is here rather than the open metal sites where D<sub>2</sub> binds preferentially. As a result, MFM-132a shows exceptional volumetric hydrogen adsorption (52 g L<sup>-1</sup> at 60 bar and 7 ...[more]
