Abstract

Microporous materials are solids that contain interconnected pores of molecular dimensions (i.e. <2 nm). Such materials possess large surface areas, typically 300-1500 m² g^-1, and are of great technological importance for adsorption and heterogeneous catalysis ¹. There are two main classes of microporous materials widely used in industry: crystalline zeolites (aluminosilicates) and activated carbons. In the past decade, there has been an intense effort to optimize the porosity of these materials for various applications^2,3. However, it is recognized that the design of entirely new microporous materials would open up exciting opportunities for fundamental research and industrial applications ³.
