Charged porous coordination cages offer a unique opportunity for the synthesis of novel porous solids with designer properties. Combination of intrinsically porous ions with complementary-charged organometallic fragments provides a general strategy to confine organometallic active sites within porous materials. This approach provides a novel and powerful route toward mixed-functionality porous solids where differing pore geometries, mixed-ligand functionalities, and mixed-metal ratios are tunable based on the identity and structure of both the ionic cages and organometallic counterions. Simple salt metathesis methods can be utilized in the synthesis of a nearly unlimited number of novel structures.
