Protection strategies for directionally-controlled synthesis of previously inaccessible metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs): the cases of carboxylate- and amino-functionalised Rh(ii)-MOPs
Keyword(s):
Herein we report that strategic use of protecting groups in coordination reactions enables directional inhibition that leads to synthesis of metal–organic polyhedra (MOPs) highly functionalized with carboxylic acid and amine groups.
