Two porous nets have been prepared via a 2-step crystal engineering approach that links decorated trigonal prismatic [Cr3(μ3-O)(CO2)6] and [Cu3(μ3-Cl)(RNH2)6Cl6] molecular building blocks, MBBs. tp-PMBB-5--1 is a rare example of a rigid underlying net whereas tp-PMBB-6--1, an underlying net, exhibits free NH2 groups in its channels and a relatively high isosteric heat of adsorption for CO2.
