Encapsulation of a metal-organic cage-based porous salt in silica nanopores

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Jul 20;59(59):9118-9121. doi: 10.1039/d3cc02310a.

Abstract

A metal-organic cage (MOC)-based porous salt composed of cationic Zr-MOC and anionic Cu-MOC was incorporated into SBA-15 nanopores via a two-step impregnation method for the first time. The encapsulated MOC-based porous salt showed improved iodine adsorption capacity when compared with the bulk sample.
