We report the template-free dynamic covalent self-assembly of a small orthoformate cryptand, which appears to be driven by the formation of two sets of intramolecular, four-centre hydrogen bonds.

AbstractOwing to its simple preparation and high oxygen content, nitroformate [−C(NO2)3, NF] is an extremely attractive oxidant component for propellants and explosives. However, the poor thermostability of NF-based derivatives has been an unconquerable barrier for more than 150 years, thus hindering its application. In this study, the first example of a nitrogen-rich hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-NF) is designed and constructed through self-assembly in energetic materials, in which NF anions are trapped in pores of the resulting framework via the dual force of ionic and hydrogen bonds from the strengthened framework. These factors lead to the decomposition temperature of the resulting HOF-NF moiety being 200 °C, which exceeds the challenge of thermal stability over 180 °C for the first time among NF-based compounds. A large number of NF-based compounds with high stabilities and excellent properties can be designed and synthesized on the basis of this work.

In the past few decades, enormous efforts have been made to synthesize covalent polymer nano/microstructured materials with specific morphologies, due to the relationship between their structures and functions. Up to now, the formation of most of these structures often requires either templates or preorganization in order to construct a specific structure before, and then the subsequent removal of previous templates to form a desired structure, on account of the lack of “self-error-correcting” properties of reversible interactions in polymers. The above processes are time-consuming and tedious. A template-free, self-assembled strategy as a “bottom-up” route to fabricate well-defined nano/microstructures remains a challenge. Herein, we introduce the recent progress in template-free, self-assembled nano/microstructures formed by covalent two-dimensional (2D) polymers, such as polymer capsules, polymer films, polymer tubes and polymer rings.

Supramolecular compounds have attracted considerable interest to chemists, physicists and materials scientists due to their fascinating structures and potential applications as porosity [1-3] but one of the most appealing aims today, is to build multifunctional compounds. We are interested to rationalize the synthesis of porous heterometallic compounds by self- assembly via hydrogen bonds. In this communication, we present a stacked 2D Catena-{Co(amp)3Cr(ox)3.6H2O} (amp = 2-picolylamine, ox=oxalate). It is built by layers in which both (Co(amp)3+ (D) and Cr(ox)3- ( A)) ionic units are linked in a repeating DADADA...pattern along both the a and c axis with four and two hydrogen bonds respectively. These layers host very well resolved dodecameric discrete ring water clusters (R12) built by six independent molecules located around the centrosymmetric Wyckoff position's of the P21/n space group in which the compound crystallizes. The clusters are ranged along the [001] direction, occupy 807.6 Å3 (23.9%) of the unit cell and have a chair conformation via 10 hydrogen bonds. The dehydration process of the compound occurs in one step around 77oC and the dehydrated compound remains crystalline although all framework atoms move by 2.25 Å along a mean vector (dm= 2.21 i + 0.17 j + 0.37 k) during the process. The unit cell is then reduced by 12.34 % along a, 12.22% along b and 2. 03% along c reducing V by 22.03%. By exposure to air, the regeneration of the compound needs 90 min, following the first kinetic Avrami's model.
