Tunable synthesis of heteroleptic zirconium-based porous coordination cages.

ABSTRACT: Zirconium-based porous coordination cages have been widely studied and have shown to be potentially useful for many applications as a result of their tunability and stability, likely as a result of their status as a molecular equivalent to the small 8 Å tetrahedral pores of UiO-66 (Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₂-OH)₄(C₈O₄H₄)₆). Functional groups attached to these molecular materials endow them with a range of tunable properties. While so-called multivariate MOFs containing multiple types of functional groups on different bridging ligands within a structure are common, incorporating multiple functional moieties in permanently microporous molecular materials has proved challenging. By applying a mixed-ligand, o
