Conspectus Current global crises related to clean energy and the environment entail the development of materials that are capable of addressing these challenges. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a class of functional materials assembled from metal-containing nodes and organic ligands via coordination bonds, have been successfully developed for various applications, including catalysis, toxic chemical removal, and gas storage and separation, as a result of their highly tailorable nature and precisely engineered pore structures. In particular, the exceptionally high surface areas and porosities of MOFs are two of their most attractive characteristics and place them among the best porous materials for the storage of clean energy gases, such as hydrogen and methane. Reticular chemistry stands out as a prominent approach to the design of MOFs as this strategy allows for the rational top-down design of frameworks guided by topological nets to afford extended framework structures with precise architectural arrangements at the molecular level. Bridging the gap between reticular chemistry design strategies and highly porous MOFs can facilitate the development of next-generation high-performance materials through state-of-the-art chemical design. In this Account, we summarize our group’s efforts over the past few years toward the synthesis and applications of highly porous MOFs inspired by reticular chemistry. First, we describe how we leveraged reticular chemistry to synthesize NU-150...
