Abstract Designed porosity in coordination materials often relies on highly ordered crystalline networks, which provide stability upon solvent removal. However, the requirement for crystallinity impedes control of higher degrees morphological versatility, or processing. Herein, we describe a supramolecular approach to synthesis amorphous polymer with controlled microporosity. The strategy entails use robust metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) as porous monomers polymerization reaction. Detailed...

Here we demonstrate synthesis a new family metal-organic cuboctahedra by connecting units through 1,3-benzenedicarboxylate and assembling as solids. Carbon monoxide nitric oxide were strongly trapped in internal cavity thanks to strong affinity unsaturated axial coordination sites centers.
Metal-organic polyhedra (MOP) are ultrasmall (typically 1-4 nm) porous coordination cages made from the self-assembly of metal ions and organic linkers amenable to chemical functionalization its periphery; however, it has been challenging implement postsynthetic due their instability.

We demonstrate that...
Porous molecular cages have a characteristic processability arising from their solubility, which allows incorporation into porous materials. Attaining solubility often requires covalently bound functional groups that are unnecessary for porosity and ultimately occupy free volume in the materials, decreasing surface areas.
