Solid-state molecular dynamics of a torsion-variable ammonium embedded in a deformable supramolecular framework

Accompanied by solid-state structural phase transitions,the switchable molecular dynamics(MD)and order-disorder transformation of(i-PrNHMe2)^(+)cation embedded in a deformable{[Ni(NCS)_(6)]^(4-)}_(∞)supramolecular framework are in-depth investigated by variable-temperature tests of single-crystal X-ray diffraction,dielectric measurement,and MD simulation.Interestingly,it is found that the confined swinging or flipping of the(i-PrNHMe_(2))^(+)cation as a whole is assisted by a synergistic change of its torsion angle.This research provides a helpful insight into the solid-state MD of moderate-sized quasi-spherical molecules/ions that feature a flexible inner core.

Stabilizing the Extrinsic Porosity in Metal-Organic Cages-Based Supramolecular Framework by In Situ Catalytic Polymerization

Porous supramolecular frameworks based on metal-organic cages(MOCs)usually have poor structural stability after activation.This issue narrows the scope of their potential applications,particularly for the inclusion of guest molecules that demand high porosity.Herein,the authors have reported the stabilization of a mesoporous zirconium MOC-based supramolecular framework with an in situ catalytic polymerization strategy.Due to the passivation effect imparted by this strategy,the introduced polymer is primarily distributed on the surface of the crystals,which results in the hybrid material retaining its crystallinity and permanent porosity.A preliminary application of this type of stabilized mesoporous supramolecular framework shows that among MOC-based supramolecular frameworks,it has the highest high-pressure methane uptake.Such a facile strategy may provide a general way to stabilize fragile porous materials and facilitate exploration of their potential applications.

Cucurbit[6]uril-based supramolecular frameworks assembled via the outer surface interaction of cucurbit[n]urils

Curcurbit[n]uril(Q[n])-based supramolecular frameworks(QSFs) constructed from the outer surface interaction of Q[n]s(OSIQ) have the characteristic of simplicity,diversity and modulability.Their simplicity is reflected in their simple composition and preparation methods used for QSFs.The diversity of supramolecular organic frameworks(SOFs) is reflected in the synthesis methods and structural characteristics of the as-obtained QSFs,as well as the variety of structural directing agents and basic building blocks used to prepare QSFs.The modulability is reflected by the controllable channel size in the QSFs,which can be adjusted using different sizes of Q[n]s.In this work,the first re ported cucurbituril Q[6]was selected as the basic building block and three Q[6]-based su p ramolecular frameworks were obtained from aqueous HCl solutions in the presence of [CdCl_(4)]^(2-)respectively.The OSIQs are the main driving forces for the formation of these frameworks.This study shows the diversity of the QSFs.

Structural modulation of Cd(Ⅱ) supramolecular frameworks with a versatile 2,4-dipyridyl-type building block and different dicarboxylate ligands

A series of Cd(Ⅱ) coordination complexes with an elongated 2,4-dipyridyl-type building block trans-1-(2-pyridyl)-2-(4-pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) and different dicarboxylate ligands have been presented. Generally, bpe shows the unidentate coordination mode and serves as the terminal pendant, whereas the dicarboxylate ligands display various binding fashions to interlink the metal centers to form 1-D comb-like chain, ribbon, and fishbone arrays, as well as 2-D 44 and 4.82 layered networks. Notably, the bpe building block is also involved in secondary interactions such as hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking to construct the resulting supramolecular architectures. Thermal stability of these complexes has been studied by TG-DTA technique.

High adsorption and separation performance of CO_(2) over N2 in azo-based(N=N)pillar[6]arene supramolecular organic frameworks

Azo-based pillar[6]arene supramolecular organic frameworks are reported for CO_(2) and N_(2) adsorption and separation by density functional theory and grand canonical Monte–Carlo simulation.Azo-based pillar[6]arene provides suitable environment for CO_(2) adsorption and selectivity.The adsorption and selectivity results show that introducing azo groups can effectively improve CO_(2) adsorption and selectivity over N_(2),and both CO_(2) adsorption and CO_(2) selectivity over N_(2) follow the sequence pillar[6]arene N_(4)>pillar[6]arene N2>pillar[6]arene.Pillar[6]arene N_(4) exhibits CO_(2) adsorption capacity of1.36 mmol/g,and superior selectivity of CO_(2) over N_(2) of116.75 with equal molar fraction at 1 bar(1 bar=105 Pa)and 298 K.Interaction analysis confirms that both the Coulomb and van derWaals interactions between CO_(2) with pillar[6]arene frameworks are greater than that of N_(2).The stronger affinity of CO_(2) with pillar[6]arene N_(4) than other structures and the larger isosteric heat differences between CO_(2) and N2 rendered pillar[6]arene N4 to present the high CO_(2) adsorption capacity and high CO_(2) selectivity over N_(2).Our results highlight the potential of azo-functionalization as an excellent means to improve pillar[6]arene for CO_(2) capture and separation.

与外壁作用相关的瓜环基超分子化学

自从2014年提出瓜环外壁作用的概念以来,促进了“瓜环外壁作用”相关的瓜环化学发展。瓜环外壁作用源于静电势呈正性的外壁与各种静电势呈负性的物种、阴离子以及含芳环有机分子等的相互作用,因而涉及多学科多领域。如外壁作用可驱动瓜环基超分子框架的构筑,根据作用方式的不同,包括:1)自身诱导外壁作用;2)阴离子诱导外壁作用;3)芳环诱导外壁作用等多种构筑方式,而所构筑的瓜环基超分子框架可能涉及到(杂)多酸化学、杯芳烃或柱芳烃化学等,同样也具有框架多孔材料特有的多相催化、吸附和离子交换等特性。设计和构建具有结构新颖和性质特异的瓜环基超分子框架,不仅能进一步扩展框架化学的研究内容,还能开辟新的研究方向。作为最重要的驱动力——自身诱导外壁作用能促使瓜环产生光致聚集发光,这是所有瓜环固有属性。瓜环在固体状态和溶液状态下呈现光致发光特性,而另外2种外壁作用——阴离子诱导和芳环诱导外壁作用则能削弱或改变瓜环聚集状态光致发光特性。这些外壁作用导致的瓜环聚集状态光致发光特性的差异恰好可用于不同阴离子或有机分子的响应,具有重要的基础研究价值和广泛的潜在应用前景。再者,瓜环的自身诱导外壁作用致使瓜环分子具有相互聚集的特性,加之瓜环端口羰基氧的亲水固有属性,因此瓜环还具有形成水凝胶的倾向,可能被应用于生物学、医学、保健等诸多领域。若结合瓜环的光致聚集发光特性,瓜环可形成光致发光的水凝胶。

Here we use nor-seco-cucurbit[10]uril(ns-CB[10]) based ternary complexation to construct [5]rotaxane,linear supramolecular dynamic rotaxane polymers and cubic 3D supramolecular organic framework.A [5]rotaxane is constructed by ns-CB[10], TMe CB[6] and short linear derivatives of 4,4'-bipyridinium(M2). ns-CB[10], CB[7] and long linear derivatives of 4,4'-bipyridinium(M3) self-assemble into a linear supramolecular dynamic rotaxane polymer. ns-CB[10] and tetracationic tetrahedral monomer selfassemble and form a three-dimensional supramolecular organic framework. The above results demonstrate that ns-CB[10]-based ternary complexation is a versatile platform to build various supramolecular systems.

Chiral supramolecular 2D halogen-bonded organic frameworks constructed by post-synthetic modified cross-linking strategy

The development of preparation methods for XOFs,as a new class of organic frameworks,plays a crucial role in shaping their structures,functions,and potential applications.In this study,we presented the construction of chiral supramolecular 2D halogen-bonded organic frameworks(XOFs)through a post-synthetic modification strategy.A linear halogen-bonded organic polymer(XOP),XOP-DPBA,decorated with aldehyde groups,was initially prepared to validate the feasibility of post-synthetic modification for XOF construction and functionalization.XOP-DPBA exhibited excellent reactivity with amines,forming imine bonds.By utilizing this reactivity,a series of cross-linked 2D XOFs were efficiently prepared through post-synthetic modified cross-linking reactions.Furthermore,we successfully introduced chiralα/β-cyclodextrins(α/β-CD)into the XOF skeletons via host-guest interactions,resulting in the fabrication of chiral supramolecular 2D XOFs.These chiral XOFs displayed the induced circular dichroism(ICD)signals and assembled them into helical fibers.The post-synthetic modification strategy demonstrated its versatility and simplicity for the construction and functionalization of XOFs.
