Post-Synthetic Modification Unlocks a 2D-to-3D Switch in MOF Breathing Response: A Single-Crystal-Diffraction Mapping Study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Post-synthetic modification (PSM) of the interpenetrated diamondoid metal-organic framework (Me2 NH2 )[In(BDC-NH2 )2 ] (BDC-NH2 =aminobenzenedicarboxylate) SHF-61 proceeds quantitatively in a single-crystal-to-single-crystal manner to yield the acetamide derivative (Me2 NH2 )[In(BDC-NHC(O)Me)2 ] SHF-62. Continuous breathing behaviour during activation/desolvation is retained upon PSM, but pore closing now leads to ring-flipping to avert steric clash of amide methyl groups of the modified ligands. This triggers a reduction in the amplitude of the breathing deformation in the two dimensions associated with pore diameter, but a large increase in the third dimension associated with pore length. The MOF is thereby converted from predominantly 2D breathing (in SHF-61) to a distinctly 3D breathing motion (in SHF-62) indicating a decoupling of the pore-width and pore-length breathing motions. These breathing motions have been mapped by a series of single-crystal diffraction studies.
