Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) as a class of crystalline materials are constructed using metal nodes and organic spacers. Polydentate N-donor ligands play a mainstay-type role in the construction of metal−organic frameworks, especially cationic MOFs. Highly stable cationic MOFs with high porosity and open channels exhibit distinct advantages, they can act as a powerful ion exchange platform for the capture of toxic heavy-metal oxoanions through a Single-Crystal to Single-Crystal (SC-SC) pattern. Porous luminescent MOFs can act as nano-sized containers to encapsulate guest emitters and construct multi-emitter materials for chemical sensing. This feature article reviews the synthesis and application of porous Metal-Organic Frameworks based on tridentate ligand tris (4-(1H-imidazol-1-yl) phenyl) amine (TIPA) and focuses on design strategies for the synthesis of TIPA-dominated Metal-Organic Frameworks with high porosity and stability. The design strategies are integrated into four types: small organic molecule as auxiliaries, inorganic oxyanion as auxiliaries, small organic molecule as secondary linkers, and metal clusters as nodes. The applications of ratiometric sensing, the adsorption of oxyanions contaminants from water, and small molecule gas storage are summarized. We hope to provide experience and inspiration in the design and construction of highly porous MOFs base on polydentate N-donor ligands.

Two novel coordination polymers, namely {[Zn(sbdc)(bmib)]·0.4H2O}n (1) and {[Zn(sbdc)(bibd)]·DMF}n (2) (H2sbdc = 4,4′-stilbenedicarboxylic, bmib = 1,4-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)butane, bibd = 1,1′-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole), DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide), have been acquired under solvothermal conditions, and have been characterised by elemental analysis, infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). Single-crystal XRD analysis reveals that 1 shows eight-fold interpenetrating 3D frameworks with a four-connected (66) sqc6 topology and 2 displays four-connected three-fold interpenetrating 3D frameworks. The flexible N-donor ligands play an important role in the construction of the final topological structures for 1 and 2. Furthermore, 1 and 2 exhibit good photodegradation capability and photoluminescence properties.

Porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are the subject of considerable research interest because of their high porosity and capability of specific binding to small molecules, thus underpinning a wide range of materials functions such as gas adsorption, separation, drug delivery, catalysis, and sensing.

As a new kind of molecular materials composed of metal ions (or clusters) and organic bridging ligands that are interconnected by coordination bonds, porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have many useful characteristics, such as high crystallinity, high porosity, structural diversity, designable frameworks, framework flexibility, as well as unique and modifiable organic pore surface. Therefore, they exhibit very promising potential applications in molecular adsorption/separation, catalysis, and sensors, etc. For example, they can be used for selective adsorption and separation of different gas molecules, such as CO2 and N2, capture of CO2 [2], sensing of small organic molecules and gas molecules, such as O2 and CO2, as well as catalysts and devices for solid-phase microextraction. In this presentation, the design and synthesis, unique pore surface, interesting functionalities will be presented by selected examples, in particular those of metal-azolate frameworks (MAFs) and a few devices useful for practical applications, from our group [1-3]. This work was supported by MoST (973 project) and NSFC.

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.

Non-centrosymmetric single-crystal metal-organic frameworks (MOF) are promising candidates for phase-matched nonlinear optical communication, but typical hydrothermal synthesis produces small crystals with relatively low transmittance and poor phase matching. We study the effect of the metal-to-ligand molar ratio and reaction pH on the hydro-thermal synthesis of the non-centrosymmetric Zn(3-ptz)<sub>2</sub> and Zn(OH)(3-ptz) MOFs with <i>in-situ </i>ligand formation. In acidic environments, we find that decreasing the amount of ligand below the stoichiometric molar ratio 1:2 also produces highly transparent single-crystal octahedrons of <b>Zn(3-ptz)<sub>2</sub></b>. In alkaline environments, we obtain long rod-like <b>Zn(OH)(3-ptz) </b>crystals whose length exceeds previous reports by up to four orders of magnitude. Potential applications of these results in the development of MOF-based nonlinear optical devices are discussed.
