Abstract
Cationic zirconocene-based metal–organic cages (ZrMOCs) recently found significant research interest for applications in porous salts. However, their widespread use remained hindered by the coexistence of two types of cages, tetrahedral and cigar-shaped, in most syntheses and by low synthesis throughput. Here, we describe the multigram-scale synthesis of several types of ZrMOCs, achieving purity higher than 99% for either tetrahedra or cigars by combining a systematic analysis of reaction conditions and the development of an efficient purification procedure based on the difference in solubility. The access to phase-pure reference compounds also allowed us to analyze the effect of cage coexistence on the physical properties and pore accessibility in mixtures.
期刊介绍：
The journal Chemistry of Materials focuses on publishing original research at the intersection of materials science and chemistry. The studies published in the journal involve chemistry as a prominent component and explore topics such as the design, synthesis, characterization, processing, understanding, and application of functional or potentially functional materials. The journal covers various areas of interest, including inorganic and organic solid-state chemistry, nanomaterials, biomaterials, thin films and polymers, and composite/hybrid materials. The journal particularly seeks papers that highlight the creation or development of innovative materials with novel optical, electrical, magnetic, catalytic, or mechanical properties. It is essential that manuscripts on these topics have a primary focus on the chemistry of materials and represent a significant advancement compared to prior research. Before external reviews are sought, submitted manuscripts undergo a review process by a minimum of two editors to ensure their appropriateness for the journal and the presence of sufficient evidence of a significant advance that will be of broad interest to the materials chemistry community.
