Abstract Scope |
In recent years, a number of Hofmann-related compounds known as flexible pillared layer porous coordination polymer (or flexible metal organic framework (MOFs)) have been synthesized which show reversible structural transitions between low porosity and high porosity phases during the adsorption and desorption of guests. Materials based on the pillared cyano-bridged architecture, [Ni’(L)Ni(CN)4]n (L = pillar organic ligands), or known as PICNICs, have been shown to be especially diverse. For example, their structures can be rigid or dynamic depending on the choice of pillar organic ligands. This talk gives a brief summary of structures (including electronic structures when available) and sorption properties of selected PICNICs that we have studied in our laboratories. In addition, instead of forming 3-D architects, 2-D layer and 1-D chain lattices were also established. |
