Abstract
Porous materials are important for diverse applications, ranging from catalysis to water purification. We have been using supramolecular chemistry to assemble new porous molecules and materials with designer properties. In this talk, I will discuss our recent efforts to construct new families of porous macrocycles, as well as solid-state materials with photonic properties.
