Multiple single-crystal-to-single-crystal guest exchange in a dynamic 1D coordination polymer?

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2015-06-11 DOI: 10.1039/C5CC02372F

Abstract

A novel 1D coordination polymer that dynamically expands or shrinks upon the uptake of vapours of volatile small chlorinated molecules, such as 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM) and trichloromethane (TCM), is reported. This system is robust enough to withstand multiple guest exchange via single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation, as proved by 1H-NMR and X-ray diffraction. The single crystal of guest-free, host framework, stable at 400 K, can also be obtained.
