Polymer Networks with Cubic, Mixed Pd(II) and Pt(II) M₆L₁₂ Metal–Organic Cage Junctions: Synthesis and Stress Relaxation Behavior

Metal–organic cages/polyhedra (MOCs) are versatile building blocks for advanced polymer networks with properties that synergistically blend those of traditional polymers and crystalline frameworks. Nevertheless, constructing polyMOCs from very stable Pt(II)-based MOCs or mixtures of metal ions such as Pd(II) and Pt(II) has not, to our knowledge, been demonstrated, nor has exploration of how the dynamics of metal–ligand exchange at the MOC level may impact bulk polyMOC energy dissipation.
