Organosiloxane-based mesoporous materials with periodically ordered pores (periodic mesoporous organosilicas, PMOs) have many applications due to their various organic functions, high surface areas, and large pore volumes. Conventional methods using...

A molecular conductor based on axially CN-substituted cobalt tetrabenzoporphyrin is reported. The crystal structure is isomorphous with a phthalocyanine-based conductor, however, estimation of effectiveness of π–π overlap and electrical transport measurement reveal that a slight change in molecular structure of macrocyclic π-conjugated ligands has significant influence on intermolecular interaction and electrical properties.
