NOVEL POROUS COORDINATION POLYMERS FROM A SELF-POLYMERIZING PHOSPHONIUM ZWITTERION AND BIS(PHOSPHINE)MCL2 COMPLEXES

摘要

Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) are a class of crystalline, nanoporous materials that have been widely researched in the past two decades. These materials are composed of metal nodes connected by organic linkers through strong coordination bonds and possess ultrahigh surface areas, high thermal stability, and permanent porosity. Current research is focused on applications for gas storage, gas separations, molecular sensing, magnetism, drug delivery, and catalysis, amongst others.
