Control of pore distribution of porous carbons derived from Mg2+ porous coordination polymers†
Abstract
We have developed porous carbons with various pore sizes from porous coordination polymers (PCPs) with Mg2+ and benzene carboxylate linkers. The pore sizes of the porous carbons were tuned systematically according to the dimensionality of inorganic building blocks and the metal–oxygen–metal connectivity of the PCP frameworks.
