title: Three-dimensional porous metal-metalloporphyrin framework consisting of nanoscopic polyhedral cages.
abstract: An unprecedented nanoscopic polyhedral cage-containing metal-metalloporphyrin framework, MMPF-1, has been constructed from a custom-designed porphyrin ligand, 5,15-bis(3,5-dicarboxyphenyl)porphine, that links Cu(2)(carboxylate)(4) moieties. A high density of 16 open copper sites confined within a nanoscopic polyhedral cage has been achieved, and the packing of the porphyrin cages via an "ABAB" pattern affords MMPF-1 ultramicropores which render it selective toward adsorption of H(2) and O(2) over N(2), and CO(2) over CH(4).
