Prussian blue coordination polymer nanobox synthesis using miniemulsion periphery polymerization (MEPP)

Metal coordination polymer nanoboxes are reported for the first time. Initially spherical miniemulsion droplet templates were transformed to hollow cubic crystalline nanostructures via a miniemulsion periphery polymerization conducted under benign thermal and chemical conditions.
