Framework materials based on azamacrocyclic complexes of transition metals and carboxylates

Published data on the molecular and crystal structure and characteristics of coordination polymers and metal-organic frameworks based on the macrocyclic complexes of transition metals and aromatic carboxylates are analyzed. The prospects for the use of such materials as selective sorbents for gases and organic molecules are demonstrated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimentalnaya Khimiya, Vol. 40, No. 6, pp. 331–356, November–December, 2004.
