S Supporting Information R ecently, various microporous organic networks (MONs) have been prepared by coupling reactions of organic building blocks. 1−4 For example, the Cooper research group and others have shown that the Sonogashira coupling of rigid organic building blocks results in the formation of various MON materials. 1−3,5 These materials have shown unique physical properties such as high surface area and microporosity (pore size <2 nm). 1−5 On the basis of these properties, the MON materials have been applied as gas adsorbents 1−7 and sensing materials 1,8,9 for small guests. By using tailored building blocks, various sensing moieties can be introduced into MON materials. For example, metallo-porphyrins with vacant axial coordination sites have been incorporated into MON materials to interact with guest molecules. 10−14 In these applications, the small molecules diffuse into MON materials to interact with inner active moieties. To reduce the diffusion pathway of guest molecules, our research group has studied the hollow structure engineering of MON materials based on nontemplate 15 or template methods. 16 Quartz crystal microbalance is a very useful device for gas sensing. 17 Various inorganic and organic polymeric materials have been used as sensing materials in QCM devices. 17 The porous sensing materials can enhance efficiency because the inner active species can be utilized in the sensing. 18 Although MON materials have promising potential as sensing materials, as far as we are aware, their application to QCM devices has not been reported. MON materials prepared without templates usually have irregular shape and size. In our preliminary studies on the application of nonhollow and irregular MON granules bearing metallo-porphyrins to QCM devices, the materials showed very poor performance as sensing materials. In this work, we report the synthesis of hollow and microporous Zn−porphyrin networks (HMZnP) with controlled outer shapes and their shape dependent ammonia sensing performance in QCM devices. Figure 1 shows a synthetic route for the shape controlled HMZnP materials. For preparation of polyhedral HMZnP (P-HMZnP), polyhedral ZIF-8 nanocrystals were prepared by procedures in the literature. 19,20 Microporous (metal-free) porphyrin network (MP) was formed on the surface of ZIF-8 via the Sonogashira coupling of tetrakis(4-ethynylphenyl)porphyrin with 1,4-diiodobenzene (See Experimental Sections in the Supporting Information, SI). The inner ZIF-8 in ZIF-8@MP was completely etched by treatment of hydrochloric acid to form hollow and microporous porphyrin networks with a polyhedral shape (P-HMP). The reaction of P-HMP with zinc acetate resulted in the P-HMZnP. When Zn−porphyrin building blocks with four terminal alkynes were used instead of metal-free porphyrins, the Zn in porphyrin was decoordinated during the acidic etching process. Thus, the Zn was introduced to P-HMP by post-synthetic modification. Spherical HMZnP (S-HMZnP) was prepared using silica nanospheres as templates, instead of ZIF-8 nanocr...
