1. A method of forming a membrane, the method comprising:
applying a first solution to a structure, the first solution comprising a macrocyclic ligand having electron-donating ligands and a side functional group for crosslinking;
crosslinking a plurality of the macrocyclic ligand to form a first network of crosslinked macrocyclic ligands; and
applying a second solution to the structure, the second solution comprising a catalytic center, wherein each catalytic center complexes with the electron-donating ligands of each macrocyclic ligand to form catalytic sites in the first network of crosslinked macrocyclic ligands.
