Abstract

We report the synthesis of a novel porphyrin-based metal carboxylate framework, [Cu2(ZnBBCPPP)(H2O)2]·6DMF·11H2O (BBCPPP-Cu2), with a large void volume, by using a two-dimensionally expanded building block: {bis[3,5-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)phenyl]porphyrinato}zinc (ZnBBCPPP). Single-crystal X-ray analysis of BBCPPP-Cu2 revealed a three-dimensional network. The void volume per unit cell of BBCPPP-Cu2 is 76.8%, which is considerably larger than that of previously reported porphyrin-based MOFs.
