Permanent Porosity in Hydroxamate Titanium-Organic Polyhedra.

Following the synthesis of hydroxamate titanium-organic frameworks, we now extend these siderophore-type linkers to the assembly of the first titanium-organic polyhedra displaying permanent porosity. Mixed-linker versions of this molecular cage (cMUV-11) are also used to demonstrate the effect of pore chemistry in accessing high surface areas of near 1200 m2·g-1.
