•Solvent-induced variation of metal clusters in metal–organic frameworks•Two magnesium-based MOFs with doubly interpenetrated ReO3 nets were synthesized.•Two MOFs are constructed by identical BTB linker and distinct Mg-containing nodes.
Through changing the components of solvent, two Mg-based metal–organic frameworks were synthesized, which possess the same two-fold interpenetrated ReO3 net constructed by identical linkers, 4,4′,4″-benzene-1,3,5-triyl-tribenzoate, but distinct nodes, Mg2 and Mg6 units, respectively. Here, DMSO and water are key factors for forming hexanuclear clusters, while DMF and DMSO act as template reagents for constructing super-octahedral cavities.
