Prussian blue coordination polymer nanobox synthesis using miniemulsion periphery polymerization (MEPP)

Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Jul 7;46(25):4574-6. doi: 10.1039/c0cc00003e. Epub 2010 May 11.

Abstract

Metal coordination polymer nanoboxes are reported for the first time. Initially spherical miniemulsion droplet templates were transformed to hollow cubic crystalline nanostructures via a miniemulsion periphery polymerization conducted under benign thermal and chemical conditions.
