Porphyrinic metal–organic frameworks from custom-designed porphyrins

Abstract

This paper highlights porphyrinic metal–organic frameworks (porph-MOFs) assembled from metal ions and custom-designed porphyrins. The contents are divided into three sections based on the types of polytopic porphyrin bridging ligands in porph-MOFs: (1) porph-MOFs containing 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrinato (TPyP) ligand and other pyridyl-based porphyrin bridging ligands, (2) porph-MOFs containing 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrinato (TCPP) ligand and other carboxyphenyl-based porphyrin bridging ligands, and (3) porph-MOFs containing other custom-designed porphyrin-based bridging ligands.
