A highly porous metal-organic framework (DUT-8(Ni), DUT = Dresden University of Technology) is found to adopt a configurationally-degenerate family of disordered states that respond adaptively to specific guest stimuli. This disorder originates from non-linear carboxylate linkers arranging paddlewheels in closed loops of different local symmetries that in turn propagate as tilings of characteristic complex superstructures. Solvent exchange stimulates the formation of distinct disordered superstructures for specific guest molecules. Electron diffraction by desolvated DUT-8(Ni) nanoparticles demonstrates these superstructures to persist on the nanodomain level. Remarkably, guest exchange stimulates reversible and repeatable switching transitions between distinct disorder states. Deuterium NMR spectroscopy and in situ PXRD studies identify the transformation mechanism as an adaptive singular transformation event.<br>

The compound [Cd(4,4'-bpy)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2·(L)2 was obtained by the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2, bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine (L) and 4,4'-bipyridine in aqueous MeOH. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction has revealed its two-dimensional metal-organic framework. The 2-D layers superpose on each other, giving a channel structure. The square planar grids consist of two pairs of shared edges with Cd(II) ion and a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule each vertex and side, respectively. The square cavity has a dimension of 11.817 × 11.781 Å. Two guest molecules of bis(1-pyrazinylethylidene)hydrazine are clathrated in every hydrophobic host cavity, being further stabilized by π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. The results suggest that the hydrazine molecules present in the network serve as structure-directing templates in the formation of crystal structures.

Metal-organic framework (MOF) based stimuli-responsive polymers (coordination polymers) exhibit reversible phase-transition behavior and demonstrate attractive properties that are capable of altering physical and/or chemical properties upon exposure to external stimuli, including pH, temperature, ions, etc., in a dynamic fashion. Thus, their conformational change can be imitated by the adsorption/desorption of target analytes (guest molecules), temperature or pressure changes, and electromagnetic field manipulation. MOF-based stimuli responsive polymers have received great attention due to their advanced optical properties and variety of applications. Herein, we summarized some recent progress on MOF-based stimuli-responsive polymers (SRPs) classified by physical and chemical responsiveness, including temperature, pressure, electricity, pH, metal ions, gases, alcohol and multi-targets.

As an important factor to measure environmental comfort, humidity control is very important. However, previous dehumidification methods have many defects, such as condensation and adsorbents, which often require a lot of energy. The growing requirements of an indoor environment can stem from the development of living levels and technology. Humidity, as an important factor to measure environmental comfort, affects living and production, and indoor humidity control is an indispensable part of modern architecture. However, there are many defects in the previous dehumidification methods, such as condensation dehumidification, which often requires a lot of energy. Traditional adsorbents (such as zeolite silica and activated alumina) have problems with fragile structures or high regeneration temperatures. In this paper, an indoor dehumidification device based on the porous metal-organic framework {MOF-801, Zr6O4(OH)4(Fumarate)6}, can realize the indoor dehumidification process only by using a small amount of solar energy (1 kilowatt per square meter). The device is expected to remove 0.2113 kg/h of moisture per square meter MOF-801, only needs a few additional energy inputs.
