Noncovalent Grafting of Molecular Complexes to Solid Supports by Counterion Confinement.

ABSTRACT: Grafting molecular complexes on solid supports is a facile strategy to synthesize advanced materials. Here, we present a general and simple method for noncovalent grafting on charge-neutral surfaces. Our method is based on the generic principle of counterion confinement in surface micropores. We demonstrate the power of this approach using a set of three platinum complexes: Pt₁ (Pt₁L₄(BF₄)₂, L = p-picoline), Pt₂ (Pt₂L₄(BF₄)₄, L = 2,6-bis(pyridine-3-ylethynyl)pyridine), and Pt₁₂ (Pt₁₂L₂₄(BF₄)₂₄, L = 4,4'-(5-methoxy-1,3-phenylene)dipyridine). These complexes share the same counterion (BF₄
