Targeted synthesis of a large triazine-based [4+6] organic molecular cage: structure, porosity and gas separation†
Abstract
Herein, we report the targeted synthesis and solid state assembly of a novel triazine-based [4+6] organic molecular cage. The tetrahedral cage features a large cavity (∼2070 Å3), and after desolvation, the resultant material exhibits a high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area of 1181 m2 g−1 and also features selective adsorption of CO2 over N2.
