Three new 3D metal–organic frameworks, namely {[Zn(L)2]}n (2), {[Cu(L)3H2O]3H2O}n (4), and {[Ag(L)]3H2O}n (5) where HL = 4-[3-methyl-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl]benzoate, have been synthesized by reaction of the HL ligand and ZnII, CuII, and AgI salts under similar experimental conditions. By introducing the secondary ligand terephthalic acid (H2bdc), another two new compounds {[Zn1.5L2(bdc)0.5]3H2O}n (1) and {[Cu(L)(bdc)0.5H2O]}n (3) with different 3D structures were obtained. Compound 1 possesses a three-fold interpenetrating framework, with {32.42.54.62}2{32.42.56.65} topology. To the best of our knowledge, 2 is an unusual example of four-fold framework guest-free metal organic framework material. Compound 3 reveals a seven-connected ose topology; magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate that it has dominating antiferromagnetic couplings between metal centres. Photoluminescence measurements of 1, 2, and 5 in the solid state at room temperature show that all coordination networks exhibit a red shift in the emission spectra, which can be assigned to an intraligand π-π* transition.

A family of Cu(II)-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) has been synthesized using three pyridyl-isophthalate ligands, H 2 L 1 (4′-(pyridin-4-yl)biphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylic acid), H 2 L 2 (4′′-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylic acid) and H 2 L 3 (5-[4-(pyridin-4-yl)naphthalen-1-yl]benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid). Although in each case the pyridyl-isophthalate ligands adopt the same pseudo-octahedral [Cu 2 (O 2 CR) 4 N 2 ] paddlewheel coordination modes, the resulting frameworks are structurally diverse, particularly in the case of the complex of Cu(II) with H 2 L 3 , which leads to three distinct supramolecular isomers, each derived from Kagomé and square nets. In contrast to [Cu(L 2 )] and the isomers of [Cu(L 3 )], [Cu(L 1 )] exhibits permanent porosity. Thus, the gas adsorption properties of [Cu(L 1 )] were investigated with N 2 , CO 2 and H 2 , and the material exhibits an isosteric heat of adsorption competitive with leading MOF sorbents for CO 2 . [Cu(L 1 )] displays high H 2 adsorption, with the density in the pores approaching that of liquid H 2 . This article is part of the themed issue ‘Coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks: materials by design’.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), infinite systems built up of metal ions and organic ligands have been extensively studied in materials and supramolecular chemistry due their structural diversity and application as porous materials, in catalysis, ion exchange, gas storage and purification. [1] A novel, 2-fold interpenetrated, pillared, cadmium metal-organic framework was synthesized using trimesic acid and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane.[2] Single crystal X-ray analysis revealed a 2-fold interpenetrated, 3-dimensional framework which exhibits a 3,5-connected network with the Schläfli symbol of [(6^3)(6^9.8)] and hms topology. This compound exhibits a temperature-induced single-to-crystal-single-crystal (SC–SC) transformation upon the release of N,N'-dimethylformamide (stable up to 3000C). SC–SC transformation was also observed when the desolvated form absorbed selected polar and non-polar organic solvents. In addition, gas (N_2, CO_2 and N_2O) sorption experiments were performed showing 2.5% N_2, 4.5% CO_2 and 3.4% N_2O absorption by mass at room temperature and moderate gas pressures (~10 bar). A similar MOF was produced when 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid was replaced with 5-nitro-1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid. This MOF displays 4-fold interpenetration and also maintains the host framework structure upon heating.

<b>Materials that combine magnetic order with other desirable physical attributes offer to revolutionize our energy landscape. Indeed, such materials could find transformative applications in spintronics, quantum sensing, low-density magnets, and gas separations. As a result, efforts to design multifunctional magnetic materials have recently moved beyond traditional solid-state materials to metal–organic solids. Among these, metal–organic frameworks in particular bear structures that offer intrinsic porosity, vast chemical and structural programmability, and tunability of electronic properties. Nevertheless, magnetic order within metal–organic frameworks has generally been limited to low temperatures, owing largely to challenges in creating strong magnetic exchange in extended metal–organic solids. Here, we employ the phenomenon of itinerant ferromagnetism to realize magnetic ordering at <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> = 225 K in a mixed-valence chromium(II/III) triazolate compound, representing the highest ferromagnetic ordering temperature yet observed in a metal–organic framework. The itinerant ferromagnetism is shown to proceed via a double-exchange mechanism, the first such observation in any metal–organic material. Critically, this mechanism results in variable-temperature conductivity with barrierless charge transport below <i>T</i><sub>C</sub> and a large negative magnetoresistance of 23% at 5 K. These observations suggest applications for double-exchange-based coordination solids in the emergent fields of magnetoelectrics and spintronics. Taken together, the insights gleaned from these results are expected to provide a blueprint for the design and synthesis of porous materials with synergistic high-temperature magnetic and charge transport properties. </b>

<p>Defect engineering is a powerful tool that can be used to tailor the properties of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Here, we incorporate defects through ball milling to systematically vary the porosity of the giant pore MOF, MIL-100 (Fe). We show that milling leads to the breaking of metal–linker bonds, generating more coordinatively unsaturated metal sites, and ultimately causes amorphisation. Pair distribution function analysis shows the hierarchical local structure is partially</p><p>retained, even in the amorphised material. We find that the solvent toluene stabilises the MIL-100 (Fe) framework against collapse and leads to a substantial rentention of porosity over the non-stabilised material.</p>

<div><p>UiO-66 is a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF) that has numerous applications. Our group recently determined that UiO-66 is not as inert in aqueous dispersions as previously reported in the literature. The present work therefore assessed the behaviour of UiO-66 in buffers: 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (TRIS), 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES), N-ethylmorpholine (NEM) and phosphate buffer (PB), all of which are commonly used in many UiO-66 applications. High pressure liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were used to monitor degradation of the MOF. In each buffer, the terephthalate linker was released to some extent, with a more pronounced leaching effect in the saline forms of these buffers. The HEPES buffer was found to be the most benign, whereas NEM and PB should be avoided at any concentration as they were shown to rapidly degrade the UiO-66 framework. Low concentration TRIS buffers are also recommended, although these offer minimal buffer capacity to adjust pH. Regardless of the buffer used, rapid terephthalate release was observed, indicating that the UiO-66 was attacked immediately after mixing with the buffer. In addition, the dissolution of zirconium, observed in some cases, intensified the UiO-66 decomposition process. These results demonstrate that sensitive analytical techniques have to be used to monitor the release of MOF components so as to quantify the stabilities of these materials in liquid environments.</p></div>

Reaction of cerium ammonium nitrate and tetrafluoroterephthalic acid in water afforded two new metal-organic frameworks with UiO-66 [F4_UiO-66(Ce)] and MIL-140 [F4_MIL-140A(Ce)] topologies. The two compounds can be obtained in the same experimental conditions, just by varying the amount of acetic acid used as crystallization modulator in the synthesis. Both F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce) feature pores with size < 8 Å, which classifies them as ultramicroporous. Combination of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that both compounds contain a small amount of Ce(III), which is preferentially accumulated near the surface of the crystallites. The CO<sub>2</sub> sorption properties of F4_UiO-66(Ce) and F4_MIL-140A(Ce) were investigated, finding that they perform better than their Zr-based analogues. F4_MIL-140A(Ce) displays an unusual S-shaped isotherm with steep uptake increase at pressure < 0.2 bar at 298 K. This makes F4_MIL-140A(Ce) exceptionally selective for CO<sub>2</sub> over N<sub>2</sub>: the calculated selectivity, according to the ideal adsorbed solution theory for a 0.15:0.85 mixture at 1 bar and 293 K, is higher than 1900, amongst the highest ever reported for metal-organic frameworks. The calculated isosteric heat of CO<sub>2 </sub>adsorption is in the range of 38-40 kJ mol<sup>-1</sup>, indicating a strong physisorptive character.
