Highly Tunable Heterometallic Frameworks Constructed from Paddle-Wheel Units and Metalloporphyrins

Seven new heterometallic frameworks have been synthesized with specific control over the metallic composition of each structure. Using Mn, Fe, Ni, V, and Pt metallated tetra-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (MTCPP) metalloligands and Zn and Co paddle-wheel building units, two series of heterometallic frameworks are assembled that maintain topology with changing metal composition.
