Reaction　of　1,1-bis-[3,5-bis(carboxy)　phenoxy]methane　(H4L)　and　CuCl2　in　the　presence　of　meso-tetrakis[4-(nicotinoyloxy)phenyl]porphyrin　(TNPP)　and　manganese　complex　of　TNPP　(MnTNPP),　respectively,　under　solvothermal　condition　afforded　CuTNPP@MOF　and　MnTNPP@MOF,　microporous　metal-organic　materials　containing　neutral　CuTNPP　or　MnTNPP　molecules　in　their　frameworks.　The　nitrogen　sorption　isotherm　measurement,　ultraviolet　visible　adsorption　spectroscopy　(UV-vis),　powder　X-ray　diffraction　(XRD),　and　thermogravimetric　analysis　(TGA)　characterizations　showed　that　CuTNPP@MOF　and　MnTNPP@MOF　were　permanently　porous　and　had　heterogeneous　catalytic　activity　for　the　oxidation　of　3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol.　(C)　2014　Elsevier　B.V.　All　rights　reserved.
