Porphyrin Based Porous Materials for Catalytic Application

Porous materials (PMs) such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), porous coordination polymers (PCPs), porous organic polymers (POPs), and polymers with intrinsic microporosity (PIMs), have received much attention due to their wide range of applications including catalysis, separation, gas storage, drug delivery, biosensing, and imaging. Although they have been successfully obtained by various synthetic techniques, their preparations are still a major task because the translation of building blocks into well-defined structures is challenging. In this regard, metalloporphyrins would be good building blocks for the construction of such functional materials witnessed by a wide range of molecular architectures using porphyrin derivatives, such as molecular boxes, self-assembled arrays, CPs and MOFs with various applications. In addition, they are often used to fabricate various architectures and to mimic the extraordinary performances of enzymes. Particularly, the heterogenization of homogeneous catalysts, such as immobilization and/or site-isolation of homogeneous catalysts using supporters are widely used strategies. In this regard, I like to present the preparations and heterogeneous catalytic uses of metalloporphyrins in various porous materials. References D. Y. Shin, J. H. Yoon, S. H. Kim, H. Baik, S. J.
