A metal-organic framework with a covalently prefabricated porous organic linker

J Am Chem Soc. 2010 Sep 22;132(37):12773-5. doi: 10.1021/ja104083y.

Abstract

We report here the synthesis of a metal-organic framework comprising an organic cage linker with covalently prefabricated, intrinsic porosity. The network can be compared to a porous rock salt structure where the pores are partially filled by charge-balancing cations.
