Triptycene‐Based Metal Salphens—Exploiting Intrinsic Molecular Porosity for Gas Storage

Abstract

No supramolecular assembly required: Accessible porous materials were formed solely on the basis of inefficient packing of discrete molecules resulting from their specific structure, which hinders close packing. These highly porous materials demonstrate the potential for adsorption and storage of N2 and H2 gases from molecular solids (see figure).
