We report a novel metal organic framework (MOF) based on a cobalt arylphosphonate, namely, [Co2(H4-MTPPA)]·3NMP·H2O (1·3NMP·H2O), which was prepared solvothermically from the tetrahedral linker tetraphenylmethane tetrakis-4-phosphonic acid (H8-MTPPA) and CoSO4·7H2O in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).

Here we report the first utilization of the novel methane tetra-p-phenylphosphonic acid (MTPPA) ligand for the preparation of metal complexes with Cu­(II). The hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions of tetratopic MTPPA as a bridging ligand in conjunction with the square pyramidal {Cu­(terpy)}2+ and {Cu2(pbterpy)}4+, (where terpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-Terpyridine and pbterpy = 4′,4″″-(1,4-Phenylene)­bis­(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine)) as prefixed corner building units have produced one-dimensional [{Cu­(terpy)}2(MTPPA-H5) (MTPPA-H6)]·(4.25H2O)­(H3O) (1) and two-dimensional [{Cu2(pbterpy)}­MTPPA-H4] (2), respectively. The structures were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction and TGA.

Tetrazine mediated inverse Electron Demand Diels–Alder Reaction (IEDDA) is an important modification technique due to its high selectivity and super‐fast kinetics. Incorporation of tetrazine moieties on polymer chains requires multistep synthetic pathways and a post‐polymerization step leading to functional polymeric materials. Such approaches involve separate syntheses of polymer and the molecule which will be employed in modification. Herein, we introduce a straightforward synthetic approach for direct synthesis of tetrazine groups on polymers as side chains. As model systems, tetrazine functional poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐and poly(ethylene glycol)‐based polymers from corresponding precursor polymers with nitrile moieties as pendant groups are prepared and IEDDA Click Reaction is achieved with trans‐cyclooctene derivatives. The click reaction is monitored by both NMR and UV–vis spectroscopies. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2019, 57, 673–680

We report two novel 3D porous metal‐organophosphonate metal organic frameworks (MOFs) [{Cu(4, 4’‐bpy)0.5(1,4‐NDPA‐H2)] (1), [{Cu2(4,4’‐bpy)0.5}(1,4‐NDPA)] (2) and a non‐porous [{Cu(4, 4’‐bpy)}(2,6‐NDPA‐H2)] (3) constructed using the structurally rigid 1,4‐naphthalenediphosphonic acid (1,4‐NDPA‐H4) and 2,6‐naphthalenediphosphonic acid (2,6‐NDPA‐H4). 1 and 2 exhibit high surface areas obtained using the structurally rigid and short aromatic organophosphonate linkers with copper. The compound 1 has been further analyzed by TGA and Quantum Design PPMS vibrating sample magnetometer.
