Coordination polymer particles (CPPs) with a high degree of porosity and multi-functional reaction sites are promising for diverse applications. In particular, nanostructured CPPs are of great interest due to their size-, shape-, and component-dependent properties. 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. The obtained Zn-CPNs exhibit a high degree of morphological uniformity and size monodisperity. More importantly, the presence of [N3] ligand in the structure provides beneficial defects, voids and particularly coordinatively unsaturated sites suitable for the coordination of other functional metals or construction of hybrid nanomaterials. |
