title: Design of 2D Porous Coordination Polymers Based on Metallacrown Units.
abstract: A 12-metallacrown-4 (MC) complex was designed and employed as the building block in the synthesis of coordination polymers, one of which is the first permanently porous MC architecture. The connection of the four-fold symmetric MC subunits by Cu(II) nodes led to the formation of 2D layers of metallacrowns. Channels are present in the crystalline architecture, which exhibits permanent porosity manifested in N2 and CO2 uptake capacity.
