Abstract

A two-dimensional (2D) porous metal-organic framework (MOF) [{Zn2(L) 4(OTf) 4}.2(DCM).xG]n (1 ⊃ G) (OTf = trifluoro methane sulfonate, DCM = Dichloromethane, L (1, 4-bis (4-pyridyl)-2, 3-diaza-1, 3-butadiene) synthesized at room temperature. Free guests DCM were encapsulated in the pores of the MOF. On air drying the MOF loses free DCM molecules and changed its structure in a crystal to crystal manner to produce compound 1 [{Zn(L)2(OTf)2}.XG]n(1). This guest-induced breathing of the framework was also supported from PXRD patterns. Solid state photoluminescence properties of the dynamic MOF were studied at room temperature.

A 2D porous luminescent framework has been synthesized based on a long flexible N-donor ligand. The compound showed guest driven breathing of the framework. The guest dependent dynamic structural behaviour has been shown by SCSC experiments and PXRD patterns of the compound. Solid state UV and photoluminescence spectra were recorded for the compound at room temperature. Such structurally dynamic behaviour in conjunction with luminescence property of a metal organic framework might be very useful as a guest-responsive material for efficient separation purpose.
