Herein, we report new porous coordination polymers (PCPs) via a facile synthetic approach called “in situ generation of functionality in the ligand”. Upon a synthetic process of PCPs, a neutral (−CH₂OH) or a cationic functionality (−CH₂-[4,4′-bipyridine]⁺) was generated on a isophthalate ligand from a reactive haloalkane (−CH₂Br) moiety, affording two new PCPs. The PCPs have two-dimensional layered structures with large potential solvent-accessible voids for CO₂ adsorption.
