  • A robust, interpenetrated 3D zinc(II) metalloporphyrin framework was successfully synthesized.
  • The framework exhibits a cubic structure with 74% free volume and 4 x 7 Å pores.
  • Nitrogen adsorption revealed a type I isotherm with a high surface area of 800 m²/g, exceeding typical zeolites.
  • The evacuated solid maintained its structural integrity and microporous nature.

Conclusions:

  • The synthesized zinc(II) metalloporphyrin framework is a stable, microporous material with significant potential.
  • The framework's versatility allows for tuning pore size, polarity, and potential catalytic activity through metal alteration and substituent modification.
  • This work presents a promising new class of porous materials for advanced applications.
