Coordination chemistry: new routes to mesostructured materials.
Although micro- and mesoporous materials have each been extensively studied separately, very little work has been done to combine both porosity ranges into a single material. Materials with bimodal porosity could have attractive properties for a wide range of applications and could open new areas of study. Here, we present a strategy to develop micro-mesoporous materials using coordination chemistry, and illustrate the concept with the formation of mesostructured Prussian blue analogues.
