title: Reversible uptake of HgCl2 in a porous coordination polymer based on the dual functions of carboxylate and thioether.
abstract: Bifunctional tetrakis(methylthio)-1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid and Pb2+ ions form a robust porous net featuring free-standing thioether groups that allow reversible uptake of HgCl2.
