The Organic Secondary Building Unit: Strong Intermolecular π Interactions Define Topology in MIT-25, a Mesoporous MOF with Proton-Replete Channels

Abstract: The structure-directing role of the inorganic secondary building unit (SBU) is key for determining the topology of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Here we show that organic building units relying on strong π interactions that are energetically competitive with the formation of common inorganic SBUs can also play a role in defining the topology. We demonstrate the importance of the organic SBU in the formation of MgH(HO)(TTFTB) (MIT-25), a mesoporous MOF with the new ssp topology. A delocalized electronic hole… Show more

“…For example, Dincă et al . reported a novel tetrathiofulvalene (TTF) tetrabenzoate based ssp framework, MIT‐25, in which three conjugated electron‐rich TTF cores define an organic SBU through supramolecular π‐π interactions . However, the targeted introduction of π‐π interactions with considerable strength could be a challenge in the aspect of ligand design, and thus relatively limited investigation has been performed.…”

“…To date, the synthetic strategies toward this aim include: i) forming mixed matrix membranes by doping pre‐synthesized MOFs; ii) forming metal–organic gels through sol–gel processes; and iii) employing 2D/3D structured supports for loading MOF particles . However, these approaches lack control over the organization of the MOFs inside the support, resulting in severe MOF aggregation, low MOF contents (usually <30 %), ill‐defined hierarchical porosity, and poor formability of the support.…”

“…Metal-organic frameworks (MOFS) are kinds of material formed via self-assembly of organic compounds and metals, [69] belonging to the family of coordination polymers (CPs). This kind of materials not only has ultra-high specific surface area, [70][71][72][73] rich topological structure, [74][75][76][77] but high tailorability and designability. They have been extensively studied in the fields of gas adsorption, separation and storage, [78][79][80] fluorescence, [81][82][83] magnetism, [84][85][86][87] and biopharmaceuticals.…”
