Abstract

A highly porous carbon was synthesised using a coordination complex as an unusual precursor. During controlled pyrolysis a trinuclear copper complex, [Cu^II
₃Cl₄(H₂L)₂]•CH₃OH, undergoes phase changes with melt and expulsion of different gases to produce a unique morphology of copper-doped carbon which, upon acid treatment, produces highly porous graphitic carbon with a surface area of 857 m²g^-1 and a gravimetric hydrogen uptake of 1.1 wt% at 0.5 bar pressure at 77 K.
