Recent advances in the applications of porous organic cages

Abstract

Porous organic cages (POCs) have emerged as a new sub-class of porous materials that stand out by virtue of their tunability, modularity, and processibility. Similar to other porous materials such...

[4 + 4]-Imine Cage Compounds with Nitrogen-Rich Cavities and Tetrahedral Geometry

“…These findings can be beneficial for applications of the cages in the selective binding of polar guests or proton conductivity. [63][64][65] Furthermore, the nitrogen-rich cavity can be used as a cage ligand for transition metal ions or clusters. [66][67][68][69]…”

Preparation of Chiral Porous Organic Cage Clicked Chiral Stationary Phase for HPLC Enantioseparation

“…When compared to the above-mentioned porous frameworks or networks (MOFs, COFs, and POPs), the most important characteristic of POCs is their good solubility, which enables them to have good solution processability. POCs have widely developed applications, including gas adsorption and storage [ 29 , 30 , 31 ], catalysis [ 32 , 33 , 34 ], separation [ 35 , 36 , 37 ], sensing [ 38 , 39 , 40 ], and bioimaging [ 41 , 42 ]. The development of POCs as CSPs for chromatographic chiral separation has also received a great deal of attention.…”

Cooperative cage hybrids enabled by electrostatic marriage

“…Porous organic cages (POCs) with unique geometrical configurations, tailorable interior cavities and open pores are promising for numerous applications, such as molecular recognition, sensing, adsorption, separation, and catalysis. 1 An ideal route for tailoring POCs is to exchange/modify their skeletons by using ligands with designed length, hydrophilicity and rigidity. 2 However, cracking the covalent bonds in POCs while maintaining their pore structures is challenging.…”
