A Chiral, Self‐Catenating and Porous Metal–Organic Framework and its Post‐Synthetic Metal Uptake

Abstract

Free vacancies: A robust and porous metal–organic framework material with unique 4-connected self-catenating structure of {85⋅10} topology was synthesized. The structure features empty bipyridine metal-chelating sites that can be doped with copper cations in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal post-synthetic modification (see picture; scale bar 20 μm).
