Metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) are versatile supramolecular building blocks for the design of highly porous frameworks by reticular assembly because of their diverse geometries, multiple degrees of freedom regarding functionalization, and accessible metal sites. Lipophilic functionalization is demon...
