title: The first route to large pore metal phosphonates.
abstract: The first large pore (free diameter > 7 A) metal phosphonates have been prepared as divalent metal N,N'-piperazinebis(methylenephosphonate)s that possess pores greater than ca. 10 A in free diameter, are stable up to 400 degrees C and offer a route to chiral adsorbents and catalysts.
