Coordination polymer particles (CPPs) are generally formed through the coordination-driven assembly of metal ions or clusters with multitopic organic linkers. Their high degree of porosity, well-defined pore size, and structural tailorability render them promising candidates for diverse applications. Herein, we report a shape-controllable synthetic protocol for Zinc-based coordination polymer nanocubes (Zn-CPNs). In the synthesis, 2,6-bis[(4-carboxyanilino)carbonyl] pyridine ([N3]) ligand is employed as an efficient shape-directing modulator to control the size and shape of Zn-CPNs. More importantly, the Zn-CPNs provide plenty of metal binding sites and beneficial defects in the structure, which is suitable for the coordination of other functional metal ions. The secondary metal ion-modified Zn-CPNs exhibit improved catalytic activities. |
