The objectives of the project are as follows:

1. The synthesis of the 10 carboxylic linkers with a [2.2]paracyclophane core.
2. The synthesis and characterization of MOFs using the [2.2]PC based linkers and s-block metals.
3. The synthesis and characterization of MOFs using the [2.2]PC based linkers and d-block metals.
4. Result dissemination by publishing at least two papers in ISI ranked journals and participating at one national/international scientific event.
