A Crystalline Mesoporous Coordination Copolymer with High Microporosity

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: Mixing it up: UMCM-1 (University of Michigan Crystalline Material-1), a mesoporous material with unprecedented levels of microporosity, arises from the coordination copolymerization of a dicarboxylate and a tricarboxylate linker mediated by zinc (see picture; blue tetrahedra Zn4O clusters, C gray, H white, O red). Exceptionally high surface area derives from the microporous cages lining the 1D mesoporous channels.
