Summary:This review presents comprehensively recent progress in metal-metalloporphyrin frameworks (MMPFs) with an emphasis on versatile functionalities. Following a brief introduction of basic concepts and the potential virtues of MMPFs, we give a snapshot of the historical perspective of MMPFs since 1991. We then summarize four effective strategies implemented frequently to construct prototypal MMPFs. MMPFs represent a resurging class of promising functional materials, highlighted with diverse applications including guest-molecule adsorption and separation, catalysis, nano-thin films and light-harvesting. This review presents comprehensively recent progress in metal-metalloporphyrin frameworks with an emphasis on versatile functionalities.
Bibliography:Dr Shengqian Ma received his BS degree from Jilin University, China in 2003, and graduated from Miami University (Ohio) with a PhD degree under the supervision of Hong-Cai Joe Zhou (currently at Texas A&M University) in 2008. After finishing two-year Director's Postdoctoral Fellowship at Argonne National Laboratory, he joined the Department of Chemistry at University of South Florida as an Assistant Professor in August 2010. His current research interests focus on the development of functional porous materials for energy, biological, environmental-related applications.
Wen-Yang Gao was born in Shandong, China in 1989. He received his BS degree with honors from Sun Yat-sen University, China in 2011. During his undergraduate years, he carried out MOFs research under the supervision of Dr Long Jiang and Dr Tong-Bu Lu. In the fall of 2011, he joined the research group of Professor Shengqian Ma to pursue his PhD degree at the University of South Florida. His research focuses on the development of functional porous MOFs including porous metalloporphyrin-based materials for catalysis application.
Matthew Chrzanowski obtained his BS in Chemistry from the University of South Florida (USF) in 2012 and began his PhD studies at USF that same year. Since 2010, he has been performing research under the supervision of Professor Shengqian Ma. His research focuses on the development of novel functional porous porphyrin based frameworks by exploiting the versatility of porphyrin complexes for biomimetic, heterogeneous catalysis, and gas storage and separation processes.
