Bottom-up synthesis of porous coordination frameworks: apical substitution of a pentanuclear tetrahedral precursor.
Top down goes bottom up: A family of microporous interpenetrating diamond frameworks can be constructed from a pentanuclear tetrahedral complex with nitrate groups at the apical positions as an inorganic precursor. A "bottom-up" methodology was used for substitution of the nitrate groups by linear ditopic carboxylate ligands (see picture). The Langmuir surface area of the resulting frameworks is higher than that of classical zeolites.
