Abstract
Coordination polymer or metal organic framework materials built from porphyrins and related compounds have important applications in many areas such as optical devices and photocatalysts. Using cobalt nitrate and tetra (4-carboxyphenyl) porphyrin as sources of building blocks, we have successfully made a novel two-dimensional coordination polymer. Results from the study of the structure and properties of the new material are reported.
