Abstract

Reaction of biphenyl-3,4',5-tricarboxylate (H(3)BPT) and CdCl(2) in the presence of meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphine tetratosylate (TMPyP) afforded porph@MOM-10, a microporous metal-organic material containing CdTMPyP cations encapsulated in an anionic Cd(II) carboxylate framework, [Cd(6)(BPT)(4)Cl(4)(H(2)O)(4)]. Porph@MOM-10 is a versatile platform that undergoes exchange to serve as the parent of a series of porph@MOMs that exhibit permanent porosity and heterogeneous catalytic activity.
