title: Prussian blue coordination polymer nanobox synthesis using miniemulsion periphery polymerization (MEPP).
abstract: Metal coordination polymer nanoboxes are reported for the first time. Initially spherical miniemulsion droplet templates were transformed to hollow cubic crystalline nanostructures via a miniemulsion periphery polymerization conducted under benign thermal and chemical conditions.
