The modular synthesis of functional porous coordination networks
Facile control of pore nature by simply replacing a cartridge is a new approach to the library synthesis of a family of porous networks. We succeeded in the preparation of various biporous networks via modular synthesis and the fine-tuning of the channel atmosphere by simple modification of the cartridge molecules. Noteworthy is that alcohol molecules are selectively recognized by the biporous network.
