<div>We study the structural and thermomechanical effects</div><div>of cation substitution in the compositional family of</div><div>metal–organic frameworks Zn1􀀀xCdx(mIm)2 (HmIm = 2-</div><div>methylimidazole). We find complete miscibility for all</div><div>compositions x, with evidence of inhomogeneous distributions of Cd and Zn that in turn affect framework aperture characteristics. Using variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction measurements, we show that Cd substitution drives a threefold reduction in the magnitude of thermal expansion behaviour. We interpret this effect in terms of an increased density of negative thermal expansion modes in the more flexible Cd-rich frameworks.</div>

A five-fold interpenetrated MOF has the highest uniaxial negative thermal expansion coefficient reported for any interpenetrated MOF to date. Upon dehydration, the framework shows considerable change in the magnitudes of the thermal expansion coefficients.

Through the study on a new Mn2(api)Sb2S5compound, we propose a strategy for designing a novel hybrid with uniaxial NTE behaviour based on the synergistic role of organic and inorganic components.

Most conventional materials display expansion upon heating, so there is considerable interest in identifying materials that display the opposite behavior, negative thermal expansion (NTE). In the current study, seven mesoporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of varying topology and composition, which exhibit outstanding porosity, were investigated using molecular simulation for temperature-induced contraction. We find exceptional NTE for the most porous MOFs and a correlation between the coefficient of NTE and porosity. The large molecular subunits of the MOFs were further studied to find they intrinsically display NTE, corresponding to terahertz vibrational modes. As a result, NTE has a considerable effect on the mechanical properties of these MOFs and is an important consideration for understanding the mechanical stability of new extremely porous materials.
