Abstract
A uniquely structured molecular solid composed of pillared bilayers of metalloporphyrin building blocks has been formulated. It consists of a single three-dimensional multicomponent supramolecular framework, resembling a zeolite, which accounts for only 42% of the crystal volume (see picture). The spacious, open galleries between the pillars are readily accessible to other guest compounds.
