Abstract The post-synthetic installation of linker molecules between open-metal sites (OMSs) and undercoordinated metal-nodes in a metal-organic framework (MOF) — retrofitting — has recently been discovered as a powerful tool to manipulate macroscopic properties such as the mechanical robustness and the thermal expansion behavior. So far, the choice of cross linkers (CLs) that are used in retrofitting experiments is based on qualitative considerations. Here, we present a low-cost computational framework that provides experimentalists with a tool for evaluating various CLs for retrofitting a given MOF system with OMSs. After applying our approach to the prototypical system CL@Cu3BTC2 (BTC = 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylate) the methodology was expanded to NOTT-100 and NOTT-101 MOFs, identifying several promising CLs for future CL@NOTT-100 and CL@NOTT-101 retrofitting experiments. The developed model is easily adaptable to other MOFs with OMSs and is set-up to be used by experimentalists, providing a guideline for the synthesis of new retrofitted MOFs with modified physicochemical properties.

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.

AbstractMaterials with negative coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) can be used to prepare composites with specific CTE values. Negative thermal expansion behavior can be primarily attributed to two types of mechanisms: phase transition- and framework-type mechanisms. This paper reports Zr2SP2O12, which has unique negative thermal expansion behavior involving both mechanisms. Zr2SP2O12 undergoes a framework-type mechanism at temperatures <393 K or >453 K and an isosymmetric phase transition at 393–453 K. The volumetric CTE of α-Zr2SP2O12 is ~−70 p.p.m./K during the isosymmetric phase transition, and this value can be decreased by decreasing the proportion of sulfur. The minimum volumetric CTE of α-Zr2S0.9P2O12-δ is ~−108 p.p.m./K in the temperature range of 393–453 K. Between 303 and 773 K, the volume of α-Zr2S0.9P2O12 − δ is reduced by ~1.3%. Finally, this paper presents methods for the hydrothermal synthesis of α-Zr2SP2O12 and for controlling the sulfur content.

The direction of anisotropic negative thermal expansion switches for the two quartzlike metal–organic frameworks deuterium indium terephthalate and zinc isonicotinate; we show this inversion to be geometric, rather than chemical, in origin.
