A construction strategy of high dimensional porous coordination polymers has been investigated based on two unsymmetrical ligands and “naked” and coordinated metal ions.
New Hofmann-type metal–organic frameworks display rare and complete ligand exchange induced single crystal to single crystal transformations from 3D frameworks to 2D layers, accompanied by magnetic properties transition from two-step SCO behavior to hysteretic SCO behavior.
The incorporation of photochromic moieties into porous coordination polymers is of particular interest due to it can endow them various switchable functions in the electrical conductivity, luminescence, and magnetism. In...
