Over the past few decades, many Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been prepared for their potential applications such as gas storage, gas separations, catalysis and other applications. Unfortunately very few of them have shown the thermal and chemical stability that allow the interior of MOFs to be chemically altered. Therefore, to develop a more robust material for applications in energy technologies, we have selected pyridone linkers for the preparation of news MOFs. Pyridone linkers have been chosen for their flattened topologies and their ability to induce homogenous distribution of metals in the Mixed-Metal MOFs. At present, no studies have used pyridone unit to build an infinite network one, two or three dimensional. Pyridone is a heterotopic coordination site that can be easily incorporated into any organic fragment and thereby allows the inclusion of several metal ions in contrable manner into the MOFs. Their predictable organization of metals in clusters have attracted our attention from crystal engineering, electrochemical, magnetochemical and photochemical point of view as these properties which are necessary imperative when the target is the development of new technologies.**
