Reversible Switching between Nonporous and Porous Phases of a New SIFSIX Coordination Network Induced by a Flexible Linker Ligand.

ABSTRACT: Closed-to-open structural transformations in flexible coordination networks are of potential utility in gas storage and separation. Herein, we report the first example of a flexible SiF₆^2--pillared square grid material, [Cu(SiF₆)(L)₂]_n (L = 1,4-bis(1-imidazolyl)benzene), SIFSIX-23-Cu. SIFSIX-23-Cu exhibits reversible switching between nonporous (β1) and several porous (α, γ1, γ2, and γ3) phases triggered by exposure to N₂, CO₂, or H₂O. In addition, heating β1 to 433 K resulted in irreversible transformation to a closed polymorph, β2. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the phase transformations are enabled by rotation and geometrical contortion of L. Density functional theory calculations indicated that L exhibits a low barrier to rotation (as low as 8 kJmol^-1) and a rather flat energy surface. In situ neutron powder diffraction studies provided further insight into these sorbate-induced phase changes. SIFSIX-23-Cu combines stability in water for over a year, high CO₂ uptake (ca. 216 cm³/g at 195 K), and good thermal stability.

Flexible Coordination Network Exhibiting Water Vapor-Induced Reversible Switching between Closed and Open Phases.

Project description:That physisorbents can reduce the energy footprint of water vapor capture and release has attracted interest because of potential applications such as moisture harvesting, dehumidification, and heat pumps. In this context, sorbents exhibiting an S-shaped single-step water sorption isotherm are desirable, most of which are structurally rigid sorbents that undergo pore-filling at low relative humidity (RH), ideally below 30% RH. Here, we report that a new flexible one-dimensional (1D) coordination network, [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] (H2HQS = 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid and TMBP = 4,4'-trimethylenedipyridine), exhibits at least five phases: two as-synthesized open phases, α ⊃ H2O and β ⊃ MeOH; an activated closed phase (γ); CO2 (δ ⊃ CO2) and C2H2 (ϵ ⊃ C2H2) loaded phases. The γ phase underwent a reversible structural transformation to α ⊃ H2O with a stepped sorption profile (Type F-IV) when exposed to water vapor at <30% RH at 300 K. The hydrolytic stability of [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) after immersion in boiling water for 6 months. Temperature-humidity swing cycling measurements demonstrated that working capacity is retained for >100 cycles and only mild heating (<323 K) is required for regeneration. Unexpectedly, the kinetics of loading and unloading of [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] compares favorably with well-studied rigid water sorbents such as Al-fumarate, MOF-303, and CAU-10-H. Furthermore, a polymer composite of [Cu(HQS)(TMBP)] was prepared and its water sorption retained its stepped profile and uptake capacity over multiple cycles.

Reversible transformations between the non-porous phases of a flexible coordination network enabled by transient porosity.

Project description:Flexible metal-organic materials that exhibit stimulus-responsive switching between closed (non-porous) and open (porous) structures induced by gas molecules are of potential utility in gas storage and separation. Such behaviour is currently limited to a few dozen physisorbents that typically switch through a breathing mechanism requiring structural contortions. Here we show a clathrate (non-porous) coordination network that undergoes gas-induced switching between multiple non-porous phases through transient porosity, which involves the diffusion of guests between discrete voids through intra-network distortions. This material is synthesized as a clathrate phase with solvent-filled cavities; evacuation affords a single-crystal to single-crystal transformation to a phase with smaller cavities. At 298 K, carbon dioxide, acetylene, ethylene and ethane induce reversible switching between guest-free and gas-loaded clathrate phases. For carbon dioxide and acetylene at cryogenic temperatures, phases showing progressively higher loadings were observed and characterized using in situ X-ray diffraction, and the mechanism of diffusion was computationally elucidated.

Reversible Thermal Conductivity Switching Using Flexible Metal-Organic Frameworks.

Project description:The ability to control thermal transport is critical for the design of thermal rectifiers, logic gates, and transistors, although it remains a challenge to design materials that exhibit large changes in thermal conductivity with switching ratios suitable for practical applications. Here, we propose the use of flexible metal-organic frameworks, which can undergo significant structural changes in response to various stimuli, to achieve tunable switchable thermal conductivity. In particular, we use molecular dynamics simulations to show that the thermal conductivity of the flexible framework Fe(bdp) (bdp2- = 1,4-benzenedipyrazolate) becomes highly anisotropic upon transitioning from the expanded to the collapsed phase, with the conductivity decreasing by nearly an order of magnitude along the direction of compression. Our results add to a small but growing number of studies investigating metal-organic frameworks for thermal transport.

Mesoscopic superstructures of flexible porous coordination polymers synthesized <i>via</i> coordination replication.

Project description:The coordination replication technique is employed for the direct conversion of a macro- and mesoporous Cu(OH)2-polyacrylamide composite to three-dimensional superstructures consisting of the flexible porous coordination polymers, Cu2(bdc)2(MeOH)2 and Cu2(bdc)2(bpy) (bdc2- = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine). Detailed characterization of the replicated systems reveals that the structuralization plays an important role in determining the adsorptive properties of the replicated systems, and that the immobilization of the crystals within a higher-order architecture also affects its structural and dynamic properties. The polyacrylamide polymer is also found to be crucial for maintaining the structuralization of the monolithic systems, and in providing the mechanical robustness required for manual handling. In all, the results discussed here demonstrate a significant expansion in the scope of the coordination replication strategy, and further confirms its utility as a highly versatile platform for the preparation of functional three-dimensional superstructures of porous coordination polymers.

Reversible chromism of spiropyran in the cavity of a flexible coordination cage.

Project description:Confining molecules to volumes only slightly larger than the molecules themselves can profoundly alter their properties. Molecular switches-entities that can be toggled between two or more forms upon exposure to an external stimulus-often require conformational freedom to isomerize. Therefore, placing these switches in confined spaces can render them non-operational. To preserve the switchability of these species under confinement, we work with a water-soluble coordination cage that is flexible enough to adapt its shape to the conformation of the encapsulated guest. We show that owing to its flexibility, the cage is not only capable of accommodating-and solubilizing in water-several light-responsive spiropyran-based molecular switches, but, more importantly, it also provides an environment suitable for the efficient, reversible photoisomerization of the bound guests. Our findings pave the way towards studying various molecular switching processes in confined environments.

The tandem repeats enabling reversible switching between the two phases of ?-lactamase substrate spectrum.

Project description:Expansion or shrinkage of existing tandem repeats (TRs) associated with various biological processes has been actively studied in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes, while their origin and biological implications remain mostly unknown. Here we describe various duplications (de novo TRs) that occurred in the coding region of a ?-lactamase gene, where a conserved structure called the omega loop is encoded. These duplications that occurred under selection using ceftazidime conferred substrate spectrum extension to include the antibiotic. Under selective pressure with one of the original substrates (amoxicillin), a high level of reversion occurred in the mutant ?-lactamase genes completing a cycle back to the original substrate spectrum. The de novo TRs coupled with reversion makes a genetic toggling mechanism enabling reversible switching between the two phases of the substrate spectrum of ?-lactamases. This toggle exemplifies the effective adaptation of de novo TRs for enhanced bacterial survival. We found pairs of direct repeats that mediated the DNA duplication (TR formation). In addition, we found different duos of sequences that mediated the DNA duplication. These novel elements-that we named SCSs (same-strand complementary sequences)-were also found associated with ?-lactamase TR mutations from clinical isolates. Both direct repeats and SCSs had a high correlation with TRs in diverse bacterial genomes throughout the major phylogenetic lineages, suggesting that they comprise a fundamental mechanism shaping the bacterial evolution.

A Nontrigonal Tricoordinate Phosphorus Ligand Exhibiting Reversible "Nonspectator" L/X-Switching.

Project description:We report here a "nonspectator" behavior for an unsupported L-function σ3 -P ligand (i.e. P{N[o-NMe-C6 H4 ]2 }, 1a) in complex with the cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl cation (Fp+ ). Treatment of 1a⋅Fp+ with [(Me2 N)3 S][Me3 SiF2 ] results in fluoride addition to the P-center, giving the isolable crystalline fluorometallophosphorane 1aF ⋅Fp that allows a crystallographic assessment of the variance in the Fe-P bond as a function of P-coordination number. The nonspectator reactivity of 1a⋅Fp+ is rationalized on the basis of electronic structure arguments and by comparison to trigonal analogue (Me2 N)3 P⋅Fp+ (i.e. 1b⋅Fp+ ), which is inert to fluoride addition. These observations establish a nonspectator L/X-switching in (σ3 -P)-M complexes by reversible access to higher-coordinate phosphorus ligand fragments.

Global gene expression analysis of macrophage response induced by nonporous and porous silica nanoparticles

Project description:Little is known about the global gene expression profile of macrophages in response to changes in size and porosity of silica nanoparticles (SNPs). Spherical nonporous SNPs of two different diameters, and mesoporous spherical SNPs with comparable size were characterized. Reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial membrane potential, lysosome degradation capacity, and lysosome pH were measured to evaluate the influence of nonporous and mesoporous SNPs on mitochondrial and lysosomal function. RNA-sequencing was utilized to generate transcriptional profiles of RAW264.7 macrophages exposed to non-toxic SNP doses. DESeq2, limma, and BinReg2 software were used to analyze the data based on both unsupervised and supervised strategies to identify genes with greatest differences among NP treatments. Utilizing GATHER and DAVID software, possible induced pathways were studied. We found that mesoporous silica nanoparticles are capable of altering gene expression in macrophages at doses that do not elicit acute cytotoxicity, while gene transcription was minimally affected by nonporous SNPs.

Switching Between Bicyclic and Linear Peptides - The Sulfhydryl-Specific Linker TPSMB Enables Reversible Cyclization of Peptides.

Project description:Phage display-selected bicyclic peptides have already shown their great potential for the development as bioactive modulators of therapeutic targets. They can provide enhanced proteolytic stability and improved membrane permeability. Molecular design of new linker molecules has led to a variety of new synthetic approaches for the generation of chemically constrained cyclic peptides. This diversity can be useful for the development of novel peptide-based therapeutic, diagnostic, and scientific tools. Herein, we introduce 1,3,5-tris((pyridin-2-yldisulfanyl)methyl)benzene (TPSMB) as a planar, trivalent, sulfhydryl-specific linker that facilitates reversible cyclization and linearization via disulfide bond formation and cleavage of bicyclic peptides of the format CXnCXnC, where X is any proteinogenic amino acid except cysteine. The rapid and highly sulfhydryl-specific reaction of TPSMB under physiological conditions is demonstrated by selecting bicyclic peptide binders against c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3) as a model target. While model peptides remain stably cyclized for several hours in presence of typical blood levels of glutathione in vitro, high cytosolic concentrations of glutathione linearize these peptides completely within 1 h. We propose that reversible linkers can be useful tools for several technical applications where target affinity depends on the bicyclic structure of the peptide.

A cyclopentadienyl functionalized silylene - a flexible ligand for Si- and C-coordination.

Project description:The synthesis of a 1,2,3,4-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp4) substituted four-membered N-heterocyclic silylene [{PhC(NtBu)2}Si(C5Me4H)] is reported first. Then, selected reactions with transition metal and a calcium precursor are shown. The proton of the Cp4-unit is labile. This results in two different reaction pathways: (1) deprotonation and (2) rearrangement reactions. Deprotonation was achieved by the reaction of [{PhC(NtBu)2}Si(C5Me4H)] with suitable zinc precursors. Rearrangement to [{PhC(NtBu)2}(C5Me4)SiH], featuring a formally tetravalent silicon R2C[double bond, length as m-dash]Si(R')-H unit, was observed when the proton of the Cp4 ring was shifted from the Cp4-ring to the silylene in the presence of a Lewis acid. This allows for the coordination of the Cp4-ring to a calcium compound. Furthermore, upon reaction with transition metal dimers [MCl(cod)]2 (M = Rh, Ir; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) the proton stays at the Cp4-ring and the silylene reacts as a sigma donor, which breaks the dimeric structure of the precursors.
