Abstract

Modification of Fe-tricarboxylate based metal–organic gels yielded tert-butyl substituted or phosphine-functionalised gels in alcohols or DMF, which were prepared from 5-tert- butylisophthalic acid and 5-diphenylphosphanylisophthalic acid, respectively. Owing to their permeability, such phosphine-functionalised metal–organic gels can act as a new type of functionalisable porous scaffold. The phosphorus-containing gel was subsequently ...
