A series of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks composed of metal nodes connected by rigid trigonal prismatic organic linkers and having a 6,12-coordinatled alb network topology are provided. Also provided are methods of synthesizing the metal-organic frameworks and methods of using the metal-organic frameworks to catalyze the hydrolysis of organic molecules, such as nerve agents, having hydrolysable bonds.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards method of making a metal-ligand complex, the method including: reacting a (L.sup.1)H compound and a base in a primary solvent to make a reaction mixture comprising an intermediate anionic L.sup.1 compound in the primary solvent; and reacting the intermediate anionic L.sup.1 compound and a L.sup.2MX.sub.3 complex to make a L.sup.1L.sup.2MX.sub.2 complex, wherein L.sup.1 and L.sup.2 independently are cyclopentadienyl-type (Cp-type) ligands, M is zirconium or hafnium, and each X is a halide and wherein the intermediate anionic L.sup.1 compound is not isolated from the reaction mixture.

The present disclosure provides catalyst compounds including a nonsymmetric bridged amine bis(phenolate), catalyst systems including such, and uses thereof. Catalyst compounds, catalyst systems, and processes of the present disclosure can provide high comonomer content and high molecular weight polymers having narrow Mw/Mn values, contributing to good processability for the polymer itself and for the polymer used in a composition.
