Complete Transmetalation in a Metal-Organic Framework by Metal Ion Metathesis in a Single Crystal for Selective Sensing of Phosphate Ions in Aqueous Media
A novel metal-organic framework, MnCl2(BIPS)2•2CH3OH•2H2O (1) were synthesized from MnCl2 and a tetrahedral silicon-cored ligand, Me2Si(p-C6H4-imdazol-1-yl)2 (BIPS) under the slow diffusion method. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 is a 2D sheet structure constructed from 1D chains with 34-atom metallamacrocycles.
Abstract
A new dysprosium metal–organic framework {[Dy2(L)3(H2O)4]·(acetone)2·(H2O)3}n (Dy2-Acetone) with single-molecule magnet and ferroelectric properties was synthesized through a solvent-induced single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation. Notably, exchange of the coordinated and guest solvent molecules lead to different magnetic relaxation and ferroelectric properties in the dysprosium MOF system, Dy2-DMF and Dy2-Acetone. Study reveals that the tunable magnetic relaxation behaviors are most likely a result of different local coordination sphere and lattice solvent molecules within the pores which influenced and tuned the relaxation rates of the magnetization. Moreover, disparate polar solvent molecules confined in the MOFs may be the key factors for their different ferroelectric properties.
