Recently, we reported the gas sorption properties of a family of homoleptic lantern-type cages with the general formula [Cu4(RL)4], where RL 2-was a series of derivatives of the ligand LH2 (Fig. ). The homoleptic lantern [Cu4(CH3L)4] was found to display the highest Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area for lantern cages, as derived from the N2 sorption isotherm. Herein, we target the formation of scrambled cages by using mixtures of the ligands LH2, CH3LH2, and MeOLH2 (Fig. ) to investigate two families of MOPs: [Cu4(L)4-x(CH3L)x] and [Cu4(MeOL)4-x(CH3L)x], for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Using this approach, we demonstrate that it can be used to tune the gas sorption properties in MOPs and, notably, the scrambled material [Cu4(L)2(CH3L)2] displays the highest BET surface area observed to date for lantern-type complexes, with improved gas uptake compared to both of the parent homoleptic materials.
