Rcent synthetic design of new porous materials and functionality often takes advantage of organic chemistry. Clearly, the development of novel porous materials should benefit from a holistic approach that examines all aspects of the synthetic chemistry. Complementary to synthetic organic chemistry, the rich diversity of inorganic chemistry also has a lot to offer in the new materials design. Our strategies for developing porous materials target both geometrical, structural, and chemical tuning of porous frameworks (sometimes, extra-framework species too). As more and more sophisticated synthetic design strategies are being developed, more complex multi-component assembly processes including heterometallic systems are also frequently probed. All of these variables contribute to the power of inorganic chemistry in the design of new porous materials, and all of these factors have been manipulated in our work to create a family of high-performance materials with potential applications in many areas such as gas sorption, ion exchange and catalysis.
