The ability to design and construct solid-state materials with pre-determined structures is a grand challenge in chemistry. An inventive strategy based on reticulating metal ions and organic carboxylate links into extended networks has been advanced to a point that has allowed the design of porous structures in which pore size and functionality can be varied systematically. MOF-5, a prototype of a new class of porous materials and one that is constructed from octahedral Zn—O—C clusters and benzene links, was used to demonstrate that its 3-D porous system can be functionalized with the organic groups, —Br, —NH2, —OC

, and its pore size expanded with the long molecular struts biphenyl, tetrahydropyrene, pyrene, and terphenyl. The ability to direct the formation of the octahedral clusters in the presence of a desired carboxylate link is an essential feature of this strategy, which resulted in the design of an isoreticular (having the same framework topology) series of sixteen well-defined materials whose crystals have open space representing up to 91.1% of the crystal volume, and homogeneous periodic pores that can be incrementally varied from 3.8 to 28.8 angstroms. Unlike the unpredictable nature of zeolite and other molecular sieve syntheses, the deliberate control exercised at the molecular level in the design of these crystals is expected to have tremendous implications on materials properties and future technologies. Indeed, data indicate that members of this series represent the first monocrystalline mesoporous organic/inorganic frameworks, and exhibit the highest capacity for methane storage (155 cm

在化学领域,设计和构建预定结构的固态材料是一个宏伟的挑战。一种基于将金属离子和有机羧酸连接成扩展网络的创新策略已经发展到了一定程度,使得可以设计出可系统变化孔径和功能的多孔结构。 MOF-5是一种新型多孔材料的原型,由八面体Zn-O-C簇和苯基连接构成,证明了其三维多孔系统可以通过有机基团(-Br,-NH2,-OC3H7,-OC5H11,-H4C2和-H4C4)进行功能化,并且可以使用长分子支架二苯基、四氢萘、芘和二联苯来扩展其孔径。在所需的羧酸连接物存在的情况下,指导八面体簇的形成是这种策略的一个重要特征,这导致设计出一个等网系列的十六种定义明确的材料,其晶体的开放空间占晶体体积的最高达91.1%,并且具有均匀的周期性孔隙,可以从3.8到28.8埃逐渐变化。与沸石和其他分子筛合成的不可预测性不同,这些晶体的设计在分子水平上有意控制,预计对材料性质和未来技术产生巨大影响。实际上,数据表明,该系列成员代表了第一批单晶介孔有机/无机框架,并且在室温下具有迄今为止任何晶体材料的最高甲烷存储容量(155 cm3/cm3,36 atm)和最低密度(0.41至0.21 g/cm3)。
