title: A heterobimetallic metal-organic framework with tunable reactive metal sites: synthesis, characterization, and reactivity.
abstract: A technique for preparing heterobimetallic frameworks with tunable metal sites is demonstrated by the synthesis of a new two-dimensional metal-organic framework that is constructed from tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin and Cd(II) species. The solid can be prepared in the presence of other divalent transition metals to yield the same framework with the smaller metal ions occupying the porphyrin ligands.
