Metal Organic Polyhedra

Nano-sized metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs) are conveniently achieved by linking transition metal ions and either nitrogen or carboxylate donor organic units. Recently, the porosity of MOPs to gases and other molecules has been demonstrated; an important step towards their ultimate utility.1a,b Further progress in this area hinges on our ability to functionalize the surface of such particles and to assemble them on substrates or polymer films for device fabrication.
