Summary:This highlight presents a review of porphyrin paddlewheel frameworks (PPFs) created using porphyrin metalloligands and paddlewheel secondary building units. The combination of these two components, along with dipyridyl pillaring linkers, results in the assembly of 25 PPFs. We describe the topology control exhibited in this series by considering the preferred coordination geometry of the porphyrin building blocks, the length and steric effects of the pillars, and the use of sequential self-assembly. These PPFs and related porphyrinic metal-organic frameworks are emerging as important materials for applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, gas storage, and light harvesting. This highlight presents a group of metal-organic frameworks created using porphyrin metalloligands in which topology is controlled through porphyrin coordination geometry, length and steric effects of pillars, and sequential self-assembly.
Bibliography:Wonyoung Choe was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. He received both B.S and M.S. degrees in Chemistry from Seoul National University, and a PhD from the University of Michigan under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Lee. After finishing postdoctoral studies in the laboratories of Prof. Gordon J. Miller at Iowa State University, and Dr. Harry Radousky at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, he became an assistant professor of chemistry at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His current research area is synthesis and characterization of metal-organic frameworks assembled from metalloligands.
Paul M. Barron was born near Ruthton, Minnesota, USA in 1981. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from North Dakota State University in 2005 where he worked with Dr. Wenfang Sun (2002-2005) on the synthesis of molecules for both non-liner optics (NLOs) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications. He received his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2010 working with Dr. Wonyoung Choe. His dissertation work focused on the creation and development of Porphyrin framework solids. In 2011 he joined the faculty in the chemistry department at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Brandon J. Burnett was born and raised in Ogden, Utah. He received a B.S. degree in Chemistry from Weber State University in 2009. As an undergraduate researcher, he worked with Prof. Edward Walker. He is currently working on his PhD in inorganic Chemistry at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under the guidance of Prof. Wonyoung Choe. His research focuses on synthesizing dye incorporated porous solids for sensing applications.
