Abstract
Mesoporous metal-organic networks have attracted widespread interest owing to their potential applications in diverse fields including gas storage, separations, catalysis, and drug delivery. Despite recent advances, the synthesis of metal-organic networks with large and ordered mesochannels (>20 nm), which are important for loading, separating, and releasing macromolecules, remains a challenge. Herein, we report a templating strategy using sacrificial double cubic network polymer cubosomes (Im3̅m) to synthesize ordered mesoporous metal-phenolic particles (meso-MPN particles) with a large-pore (∼40 nm) single cubic network (Pm3̅m). We demonstrate that the large-pore network and the phenolic g..
