Fluorinated linkers enable the synthesis of flexible MOFs with 1D alkaline earth SBUs and a temperature-induced phase transition

Abstract

Fluorination as a functionalization of organic linkers in MOFs has shown surprising effects both on the structure of the linker itself as well as on the topology and properties of...

Co-crystal formation vs. boron coordination: fluorination in azopyridines regulates supramolecular competition

“…Due to the widespread use of organoboron compounds in materials science (e.g., dynamic covalent assemblies) 29 and competing pathways in supramolecular self-assembly, we envision further control using fluorination could generate dynamic boron-based systems with multifunctional properties (e.g., gas storage). 30 In our ongoing work, we are exploring physical and chemical stimuli to control self-assembly pathways in organoboron compounds to form functional solids.…”
