Paper
The combined use of porphyrins and fluorides to fabricate pillared coordination sheets is presented. Multiple features, such as coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, an optimal pore space, and a fluoride-decorated internal surface, make the new materials ideal adsorbents with high capacity and affinity for carbon dioxide. In addition, the new materials are shown to be suitable single-source precursors to afford fluorine-doped graphene analogues for application in oxygen reduction reaction electrodes.
