Abstract

Although zeolites and related materials combine nanoporosity with high thermal stability, they are difficult to modify or derivatize in a systematic way. A highly porous metal coordination polymer [Cu 3 (TMA) 2 (H 2 O) 3 ] n (where TMA is benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) was formed in 80 percent yield....
