Nanoporous Crystals of Calixarene/Porphyrin Supramolecular Complex Functionalized by Diffusion and Coordination of Metal Ions
A highly nanoporous material has been obtained by self-assembly of calixarene and porphyrin building blocks. This supramolecular zeolite-like structure was successively functionalized by diffusion and coordination of metal ions to form a new bifunctionalized nanoporous material containing a porphyrinic pigment together with a metal center.
