Oppositely-charged coordination cages form a Type I porous ionic liquid with two pore sizes

Key Points

This research aims to introduce a new type of porous liquid made from oppositely-charged coordination cages.
Prepared through ion metathesis of two oppositely-charged coordination cages.
Characterized for pore sizes and ionic properties.
Created a Type I porous ionic liquid with distinct pore sizes.
Demonstrated potential applications in material science.

Abstract

Here we introduce a new type of porous liquid that combines two coordination cages in a single salt. This material is prepared through the ion metathesis of two oppositely-charged cages:...
