•A new metal organic polyhedron Cu-MOP based on a dibenzothiophene ligand has been synthesized and characterized.•Cu-MOP showed H2 and CO2 sorption behavior over N2.•TCNQ, DDQ, CR and MB could be reduced in the presence of Cu-MOP.
A new metal–organic polyhedron Cu-MOP with octahedral geometry was constructed by 2,8-dibenzothiophenedicarboxylic acid and dicopper paddlewheel. Cu-MOP exhibited H2 and CO2 sorption behavior. Furthermore, Cu-MOP revealed reductive properties towards TCNQ, DDQ, CR and MB due to the electron-donating nature of DBT ligand.
