A novel Zr-chain based MOF, namely MIL-163, was designed and successfully synthesized using a bis-1,2,3-trioxobenzene ligand. Endowed with large square-shaped channels of 12 angstrom width, it shows remarkable water uptake (ca. 0.6cm(3)g(-1) at saturating vapor pressure) and a remarkable stability in simulated physiological media, where archetypical Zr carboxylate MOFs readily degrade.
