Recently, new achievements on the design and assembly of porous materials have been made by Professor Su Zhongmin and Professor Wang Enbo in Faculty of Chemistry of NENU through the combination of theoretical frameworks and experiments, which has offered a novel combinative proposal for the oriented design of the porous materials with the function of storing material in its gaseous state. The thesis "Bottom-Up Synthesis of Porous Coordination Frameworks: Apical Substitution of a Pentanuclear Tetrahedral Precursor" is published in Angew．Chem．Int．Ed., 2009, 48, 5291�5295. (IF: 10.879).
