Changing the ratio of the dicarboxylates, L : L′, in MOFs of the general formula [Zn2(L)2–x(L′)x(dabco)] affords control of the pore geometry, through non-covalent interactions between the ligands.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Metal-organic frameworks offer a convenient means for capturing, transporting, and releasing small molecules. Rational design of such systems requires an in-depth understanding of the underlying non-covalent interactions, and the ability to easily and rapidly pre-screen candidate architectures in silico. In this work, we devised a recipe for computing the strength and analysing the nature of the host-guest interactions in MOFs. Using experimentally characterised complexes of calcium-adipate framework with 4,4’-bipyridine and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane guests as test systems, we have assessed a range of density functional theory methods, energy decomposition schemes, and non-covalent interactions indicators across realistic periodic and finite supramolecular cluster scales. We find that appropriately constructed clusters readily reproduce the key interactions occurring in periodic models at a fraction of the computational cost and with an added benefit of diverse density partitioning schemes. Host-guest interaction energies can be reliably computed with dispersion- corrected density functional theory methods; however, decoding their precise nature demands insights from energy decomposition schemes and quantum-chemical tools beyond local bonding indices (e.g., the quantum theory of atoms in molecules), such as the non-covalent interactions index and the density overlap regions indicator. </p> </div> </div> </div>
