Partial Order–Disorder Transformation of Interpenetrated Porous Coordination Polymers

Chemistry of porous coordination polymers

Remarkable advances in the recent development of porous compounds based upon coordination polymers have paved the way toward functional chemistry having potential applications such as gas storage, separation, and catalysis. From the synthetic point of view, the advantage is a designable framework, which can readily be constructed from building blocks, the so-called bottom-up assembly. Compared ...

Polymerization reactions in porous coordination polymers.

Recent developments in polymerizations within the nanochannels of porous coordination polymers (PCPs) are covered in this tutorial review. The characteristic features of PCPs are regular structures, controllable channel sizes and shapes, a designable surface functionality, and flexible frameworks, which can be utilized for precision polymer synthesis and specific polymer confinement. This revie...

Radical polymerisation of styrene in porous coordination polymers.

The first radical polymerisation of styrene in porous coordination polymers has been carried out, providing stable propagating radicals (living radicals), and a specific space effect of the host frameworks on the monomer reactivity is demonstrated.

Water-resistant porous coordination polymers for gas separation

Porous coordination polymer (PCP) chemistry has a promising future because of the tunable structures and excellent properties of polymers. However, the strategy for designing and preparing water-resistant PCPs is a considerable challenge. This review surveys and investigates the factors governing water resistance in a hierarchy sequence. Subsequently, representative studies are provided with an...
