Phosphine Coordination Materials (PCMs) are an expanding family of metal-arylphosphine coordination networks, which offer a broad range of chemical reactivity that is unique to P(III) sites inside the pores. Some pertinent examples include: pre- and post-synthetic modification with catalytic metal species; the introduction of esoteric organic moieties into the pores (e.g. sulfur or selenium chalcogenides, or dative polar groups); and, luminescence-based molecular sensing and discrimination. The PCMs are stable porous coordination networks that offer unique chemical tunability to enable the study of esoteric MOF-based applications in catalysis, small molecule sequestration and detection.
