There is growing interest in metal-organic cages (MOCs) as porous materials owing to their processability in solution. The discrete molecular character and surface features of MOCs have a direct impact on the interactions between cages, enabling the final physical state of the materials to be tuned. In this tutorial review, we discuss how to use MOCs as core building units, highlighting the role played by surface functionalisation of MOCs in leading to porous materials in a range of states covering crystalline solids, soft matter, liquids and composites. We finish by providing an outlook on the opportunities for this work to serve as a foundation for the development of increasingly complex functional porous materials structured over various length scales.
由于金属有机笼（MOCs）在溶液中的可加工性，人们对其作为多孔材料的兴趣与日俱增。MOCs的离散分子特性和表面特征直接影响着笼与笼之间的相互作用，从而能够调控材料的最终物理状态。在本教程综述中，我们讨论了如何将MOCs用作核心构建单元，强调了MOCs的表面功能化在形成一系列状态的多孔材料（包括晶体固体、软物质、液体和复合材料）中所起的作用。我们最后展望了这项工作为开发在各种长度尺度上构建的日益复杂的功能多孔材料奠定基础的机遇。
