Abstract

The organometallic host-guest chemistry of porous covalent organic frameworks is explored by vapour phase infiltration of volatile organometallic precursors; namely, [Fe(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)], [Co(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)], and [Ru(cod)(cot)]. The unique arrangement of ferrocene molecules inside COF-102 is driven by π-π (host-guest) interactions and replicates the framework symmetry.
