Rational design of such systems requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying non-covalent interactions, and the ability to easily and rapidly pre-screen candidate architectures in silico.

Using experimentally characterised complexes of calcium-adipate framework with 4,4’-bipyridine and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane guests as test systems, we have assessed a range of density functional theory methods, energy decomposition schemes, and non-covalent interactions indicators across realistic periodic and finite supramolecular cluster scales. We find that appropriately constructed clusters readily reproduce the key interactions occurring in periodic models at a fraction of the computational cost and with an added benefit of diverse density partitioning schemes. Host-guest interaction energies can be reliably computed with dispersion- corrected density functional theory methods; however, decoding their precise nature demands insights from energy decomposition schemes and quantum-chemical tools beyond local bonding indices (e.g., the quantum theory of atoms in molecules), such as the non-covalent interactions index and the density overlap regions indicator. </p> </div> </div> </div>

Changing the ratio of the dicarboxylates, L : L′, in MOFs of the general formula [Zn2(L)2–x(L′)x(dabco)] affords control of the pore geometry, through non-covalent interactions between the ligands.

As molecular synthesis advances, we are beginning to learn control of not only the chemical reactivity (and function) of molecules, but also of their interactions with other molecules. It is this basic idea that has led to the current explosion of supramolecular science and engineering. Parallel to this development, chemists have been actively pursuing the design of very large molecules using basic molecular building blocks. Herein, we review the general development of supramolecular chemistry and particularly of two new branches: supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs) and metal organic frameworks (MOFs). These two fields are discussed in detail with typical examples to illustrate what is now possible and what challenges lie ahead for tomorrow's molecular artisans.

<div> <p>Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are becoming increasingly popular as heterogenous support matrices for molecular catalysts. Given that reactants, or potentially holes/electrons, need to diffuse into the porous framework as the reaction proceeds, the reaction can possibly take place within the bulk of the particle or be confined to a thin layer at the surface due to transport limitations. Herein, a simple steady-state reaction-diffusion kinetic model is developed to diagnose these two mutually exclusive behaviors in MOF-based systems. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) driven by a chemical oxidant is presented as an example mechanism. Quantitative metrics for assigning either bulk or surface reactivity are delineated over a wide variety of conditions, and numerical simulations are employed to verify these results. For each case, expressions for the turnover frequency (TOF) are outlined, and it is shown that surface reactivity can influence measured TOFs. Importantly, this report shows how to transition from surface to bulk reactivity and thus identifies which experimental parameters to target for optimizing the efficiency of MOF-based molecular catalyst systems.</p> </div> <br>
