What is it about?
New Porous Coordination Polymers (PCPs) were achieved based on the coordination capabilities of first-row transition metal ions such as Co2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+. The obtained composite PCPs containing a [Zn2M2O]6+ (M = Co or Ni) bimetallic cluster core with open metal sites (OMSs) exhibited distinct isosteric heats of adsorption and surface areas due to the difference in their open metal Lewis acidic sites of solvent-free state. Additionally, these composite PCPs exhibit remarkable superhydrophobic properties with contact angles of 159.3° and 160.8° respectively for Zn–Co and Zn–Ni analogs. This superhydrophobic surface survives even at a high temperature for longer time periods.
