Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides porous metal-organic polyhedra. The porous metal-organic polyhedra of the present invention comprises a plurality of metal clusters each of which have two or more metal ions, and a sufficient number of capping ligands to inhibit polymerization of the metal organic polyhedra. The porous metal-organic polyhedra further includes a plurality of multidentate linking ligands that connect adjacent metal clusters into a geometrical shape describable as a polyhedral with metal clusters positioned at one or more vertices of the polyhedron. The present invention also provides a method of making the porous metal-organic polyhedra in which a solution comprising a solvent, one or more ions, and a counterions that complexes to the porous metal-organic polyhedra as a capping ligand to inhibit polymerization of the metal organic polyhedra, with a multidentate linking ligand.
