Reversible structural transformations in a Co(II)-based 2D dynamic metal-organic framework showing selective solvent uptake

Water vapour induced reversible switching between a 1-D coordination polymer and a 0-D aqua complex

[Zn(3-tba)2], 1, a 1-D coordination polymer synthesised as 1·DMA, 1α, transformed to a nonporous form, 1β upon activation. 1β underwent further transformation to the dimeric complex [Zn(3-tba)2(H2O)2], 2, above 40%...

Coordinatively unsaturated metal sites (open metal sites) in metal–organic frameworks: design and applications

The defined synthesis of OMS in MOFs is the basis for targeted functionalization through grafting, the coordination of weakly binding species and increased (supramolecular) interactions with guest molecules.
