A PN adamantanoid ligand for reticular materials

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: Despite their functional advantages, ligands featuring inorganic elements are rare in reticular chemistry, as are three dimensional ligands. We report the synthesis and characterisation of a phosphorus-nitrogen (PN) cage-based tetra-benzoic acid – P 4 (BA) 4 – and its application to the synthesis of crystalline materials PNMOF-1 and PNHBP-1 . These results debut framework materials based on PN cages and expand the scope of 3-dimensional inorganic ligands for reticular chemistry beyond carboranes and silsesquioxanes.
