Porous materials based on metal–nucleobase systems sustained by coordination bonds and base pairing interactions

Abstract

The present work summarizes the different approaches that can be applied to achieve porous materials based on metal–nucleobase systems. The rigidity and the multiple donor sites of the nucleobases make them suitable linkers to provide coordination bond sustained metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Furthermore, the ability of the nucleobases to establish complementary hydrogen bonding interactions allows one to achieve similar metal–nucleobase porous materials but sustained by hydrogen bond pairing interactions between the nucleobases (supramolecular metal–organic frameworks, SMOFs).
